For full and part-time undergraduate degree courses at University Centre St Helens, eligible students can apply for a tuition fee loan from the Student Loans Company.
You can apply for the exact amount of loan to cover your tuition fees, and this will be paid directly to us by the Student Loans Company on your behalf.
You may be eligible for additional financial support, such as Maintenance Loans, Adult Dependants Grant, Disabled Students’ Allowances, Childcare Grant and Parents Learning Allowance.
Maintenance Loans support students with living costs and the amount available depends on where a student lives while studying. You may also apply for a higher amount that is based on your household income.
You can find out more by visiting www.gov.uk/student-finance.
All new, first year (level 4), full-time undergraduates studying a qualifying Foundation Degree, Bachelor’s Degree or Higher National Diploma at University Centre St Helens, will receive a non-repayable Study Enhancement Gift up to the value of £400. This could be in the form of a laptop, subject specific equipment, extra qualifications, trips or visits.
The gift is determined by your programme leader, prior to the start of your studies.
