Unsure howyou’ll pay for university and what support is on offer? Don’t worry, there are many financial support packages available. Here we explain a bit more about it. While at university, you'll have two main costs – tuition fees and living costs. It's likely that you won't have to pay anything up front and, depending on your individual circumstances, you could be eligible for extra financial packages. Understand Student finance

Paying back your loans You won't need to start paying your tuition fee and maintenance loans back until you’re earning over £26,568 each year. You'll then pay back 9% of the amount over the threshold that you're earning each month. How to apply for your loans You can apply for both your tuition fee and maintenance loans in one go. For more information visit www.gov.uk/student-finance Grants, bursaries and scholarships * Grants, scholarships, studentships and bursaries are extra financial support packages, linked to eligibility criteria, that don’t need to be paid back. Depending on your circumstances, for example, if you have child or adult dependents, have declared a low household income, receive local authority care, or live in specific localities, you could be eligible to apply for financial support. Please check our website for up-to-date details of our grants, bursaries and scholarships.

Tuition fee and maintenance loans Repayments of tuition fee and maintenance loans are based on future earnings and not on what you borrow. You only repay once you have left university and earn over a threshold. Tuition Fee Loan If you’re resident in the UK, Ireland or one of our crown dependencies (Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of man), and this is your first degree, you’ll be eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan from the UK Government. If you're an international or European student, it's likely that you'll be eligible to pay international tuition fees, but your own country government may also provide loans or scholarships to support your studies in the UK. Please contact our International team for further information about your fees international@hartpury.ac.uk Maintenance Loan As a UK-based student you'll also be eligible to apply for a means-tested (depending on your household income) Maintenance Loan to cover your living costs. How much you get depends on your household income, where you study, where you live and how long you’re studying for. This will be paid directly into your bank account. Maintenance Loans vary between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and are not available to European or international students.
