We offer tailored sessions on campus or at your school to help students understand university funding. From tuition fees and maintenance loans to budgeting tips and repayment guidance, we support learners whether they’re planning for higher education or exploring their options.
This comprehensive session equips students with the knowledge and confidence to navigate university finances with clarity. We begin by breaking down the different types of financial support available through Student Finance England, including tuition fee loans and maintenance loans, as well as eligibility criteria and entitlement levels based on household income.
Students will also explore additional financial support such as bursaries, scholarships, and hardship funds—highlighting how to identify relevant opportunities offered by universities, charities, and local organisations, and how to apply effectively.
The session continues with an accessible introduction to loan repayments after graduation, clarifying how repayments work, the role of interest, earning thresholds, and what repayment looks like in real terms. We’ll demystify common misconceptions and show how repayment is linked to future income, not debt levels.
To help students prepare practically for university life, the session includes a budgeting segment—providing tips on managing money, planning for key expenses, and avoiding common pitfalls. For schools that wish to extend this element, we offer an interactive 'Budgeting Game' to engage students with real-world scenarios in a fun and educational way.
Finally, the session walks students through the application process step-by-step, covering when and how to apply, what documentation is needed, and how to check and track their application. By the end, students will have a clear action plan and feel more informed and confident about financing their university journey
