How repaying a Student Loan works

You only start to make repayments on your student loan听when you start earning over a certain amount known as 'the threshold'. This amount is听before tax and other deductions. You will pay 9%* of the amount you earn over听that threshold.

The threshold is different depending on which repayment plan you are on, so find out about听

But if your salary falls below that amount,听or听you stop working, the repayments stop automatically.听For the full details, check听.听

When to Apply for Funding

We听recommend that you apply for funding听as soon as you apply for your course.听

You apply for all funding at the same time: student loans, grants, bursaries and tuition fees.听It takes at least six weeks to process your application so听the earlier the better.听The GOV.UK site tells you all about听.听

If you want to ensure your funding is in place before you start University,听we suggest you听apply before 30 June.听听You don鈥檛 need a confirmed place, just use your preferred choice and update it if necessary.

Submitting your application as听early as possible means your finances will be听sorted听before you start.听If your application is later than 30 June, your money may be too.听And you don't want to start your course worrying about money.听

Applying early enough听also听means that听your first tuition fee funding instalment is ready for release听as soon as you听are registered for University.
