There are other ways to get extra money too, through support grants as well as scholarships or bursaries.Either can help pay for things such as rent, food, books, travel, and other expenses that aren't your tuition fees. The maintenance loan is means tested so you need to provide details of your families income as well as where you'll be living whilst you study.If you are part of a low-income household you'll likely get a bit more in your maintenance loan as those with higher earning parents are expected to receive some support from them.or by post and you have up to nine months after the start of the academic year for your course to apply.

Up to £910 less if you're away from home in London, up to £515 less anywhere else in the UK, and up to £1140 less if you'll be living abroad.You can't get maintenance grants or special support grants when you start uni any more.
