In September 1999 the Government introduced the next phase of the new student funding arrangements. In general the new scheme applies to all new full-time, undergraduate students from England and Wales.
Different regulations apply to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Once you have been assessed as eligible generally this will last for the whole of your course. However you must have your entitlement to support reassessed annually on the basis of your own and your parents' or spouses' income. The rules for previous study are complicated and there are circumstances in which despite having studied before, you may be eligible for further support. If you require more advice please contact the SES Division, see sources of information . You may be eligible for help towards your fees and the amount you receive will be determined by your LEA on the basis of your own and your family's income.
