Tuition Fee Loans are repayable but only after students finish or leave their course and earn over the repayment threshold (currently £25K)

7. MAINTENANCE LOAN AN OVERVIEW
Maintenance Loan amounts increased by 2.8% for 2019/20
All eligible students can get some maintenance support
The amount they can get depends on where they live and study
They can apply for more based on household income

Loans are repayable but only after students finish or leave their course and earn over the repayment threshold
The basic rate of Maintenance Loan doesn’t depend on household income but students can apply for more that does.

10. i MAINTENANCE SUPPORT MAINTENANCE LOAN – INDEPENDENT STUDENTS
For the higher rate of Maintenance Loan SFE need details of household income*, unless the student can be viewed as independent, this can be if they:
Have care of a person under the age of 18
• Are 25 or over on the first day of the academic year
Have supported themselves financially for three years before starting HE
Are permanently estranged from their parents
Are leaving the care of a local authority (see propel.org.uk )
A student is considered independent if:
They’ve been married or formed a civil partnership before the start of the academic year even if that marriage or civil partnership has ended
• They have no living parents
• They’ve supported themselves for at least three years before the start of their course
They’ve not communicated with their parents for one year before the beginning of the academic year for which they are applying for support, or can demonstrate a permanent estrangement from their parents
Their parents cannot be traced or it is not practical or possible to contact them
Their parents live outside of the EC and an income assessment would put them in jeopardy, or if not reasonably practicable for them to send funds to the UK if a contribution were assessed
• Subject to certain exceptions, they were looked after by a local authority throughout any three month period ending on or after the date on which they turned 16 and before the first day of the first academic year of their course

Students on household incomes of £25,000 or less qualify for the maximum loan for living costs at the respective Home, Elsewhere or London rate of loan.
Home Rate: Students with household incomes above £25,000 lose £1 of loan for every complete £7.88 of income above £25,000 until the amount they receive reaches 44% of the maximum amount (indicated in the table above), at which point there is no further reduction. London Rate: Students with household incomes above £25,000 lose £1 of loan for every complete £7.66 of income above £25,000 until the amount they receive reaches 49.8% of the maximum amount (indicated in the table above), at which point there is no further reduction. Elsewhere Rate: Students with household incomes above £25,000 lose £1 of loan for every complete £7.79 of income above £25,000 until the amount they receive reaches 46.6% of the maximum amount (indicated in the table above), at which point there is no further reduction.

12. i MAINTENANCE SUPPORT LONG COURSES LOAN RATES
Students may be eligible for the Long Courses Loan if they’re studying a
full-time higher-education course where the academic year exceeds the
standard 30 weeks and three days:
Students can get a fixed amount per extra week or part week of study
Rate depends on where students live/study and household income*
Student Lives
& Studies
Weekly
Amount
Parental Home
£63
Elsewhere
£96
London
£123
Overseas
£133
If the student’s household income is below £39,796, they’ll be able to get the maximum loan amount per additional week:
The amount of Long Courses Loan they can get will be reduced by £1 for every £8.73 of household income over the threshold of £39,796
If the student only gets the part of the Maintenance Loan that doesn’t depend on household income they won’t be able to get the Long Courses Loan
The Long Courses Loan is paid with the Maintenance Loan in three instalments
EXAMPLE: A student is living outside London, not in the parental home.
Their household income is £45,000. Their academic year runs for a total of 37 weeks.
Step 1 If a student has a household income of £45,000, the income we’d use to calculate the student’s Long Courses Loan entitlement is worked out as follows: Household income Threshold Household income – threshold £45,000 – £39,796 so this is the amount taken into account for calculating the Long Courses Loan entitlement = £45,000 - £39,796 = £5,204
Step 2 Where the income exceeds £39,796, a contribution of £1 for each additional £8.73 is calculated, as follows: Household income over the threshold Contribution calculation - £1 for each £8.73 above this figure £5,204/£8.73 = £596
Step 3 Once we have the contribution amount, we’ll then work out the total amount of Long Courses Loan the student could get. We do this by multiplying the applicable weekly rate, depending upon where the student is living while studying, by the number of extra weeks of attendance above 30 weeks and three days, as follows:
Maximum weekly rate (living outside London, not in parental home) Additional number of weeks = 7 Maximum weekly rate x number of extra weeks of attendance £96 x 7 = £672
Step 4 We can then subtract the contribution amount from the total Long Courses Loan entitlement, to give the amount payable: Total potential Long Courses Loan entitlement (£672) – contribution amount (£596) = £76
So in this case, the total amount of Long Courses Loan payable is £76
*Long Course Loan is a means tested product so only awarded to
students who have a means tested student finance assessment i

13. EXTRA SUPPORT

14. EXTRA SUPPORT DISABLED STUDENTS ALLOWANCES (DSAs)

17. i DEPENDANTS’ GRANTS PAYMENT AND ASSESSMENTS
Both the DfE and SLC have reviewed the current CCG application process
and identified that changes must be made to combat fraud and improve the
‘customer’ journey:
From AY 19/20, CCG payments will change from being paid directly to students based on estimated costs to being paid to the CCPs via a third party system* and based on actual costs incurred
DfE have confirmed that a separate income assessment for each GFD product will be introduced to replace the existing combined calculation method
Thereby facilitating the new process and simplifying the policy
Both the DfE and the SLC have reviewed the current CCG application process and have identified that changes must be made to combat fraud and help improve the customer journey.
From AY 19/20, CCG payments will change from being paid directly to students based on estimated costs to being paid to the CCPs via a third party system and based on actual costs incurred. The preferred supplier of the third party payment system was appointed in June 2018.
As part of this change, DfE have reviewed the current income assessment calculation for GFDs and have confirmed that the existing combined calculation will be split into a separate income assessment for each GFD product, thereby facilitating the new process and simplifying the policy.

From example: a basic way of working out the monthly repayment would be:
28,000 – 25,000 = 3,000
3,000 divided by 12 = £250 multiply that by 0.09 giving a monthly payment of £22.
You’re charged interest from the day your first payment is made to you or your uni or college until your loan is repaid in full or cancelled. The interest rate is based on the UK Retail Price Index (RPI) and will vary depending on your circumstances. For more information go to
The Retail Price Index (RPI) is a measure of UK inflation. It measures changes to the cost of living in the UK.
The interest rate is updated once a year in September, using the rate of RPI from March.
While studying until entering repayment = RPI +3%
On entering repayment interest is linked to earnings on a sliding scale up to a maximum of RPI + 3%

Infographic
We know applying to uni can seem complex, so we’ve created an infographic to break down the entire student finance journey.
This easy-to-follow image guides them along the student finance pathway, from finding out what’s available to repaying their loan.
The infographic is split into 3 separate stages, so images can be shared individually or alongside each other to show the journey as a whole.
We’ve also put the images together as one larger poster, which can be printed and displayed at open days or events.
