How and When to Apply
Apply online
The quickest and simplest way to apply is online. There are 3 simple steps to applying online:
- register with us
- log into your student finance online account and submit your application
- submit any necessary evidence
Although we recommend applying online, we still have paper applications available if you need one. If you require a paper application, contact us
We welcome Welsh correspondence and calls. This won't lead to a delay in our response.
Identity evidence
You can confirm your identity by providing your passport number on your application. If you haven't included your passport details in your application you’ll need to send in a UK Passport Details Form.
Don’t send your passport to us.
- UK passport details form 2021 to 2022 - coming soon!
- UK passport details form 2020 to 2021
If you don’t have a valid UK passport, you’ll need to send in your original UK Birth or Adoption Certificate or non-UK passport instead.
Deadline dates
If you apply after the deadline you’re not guaranteed to have money paid into your bank account for the start of term so we recommend you apply as soon as possible if you haven’t already.
Final cut-off date for applications
You can apply up to 9 months after the start of your academic year. If you apply after this, then there’s no guarantee you’ll receive any funding.
