Interest on your Tuition Fee Loan
You’ll be charged interest on your Tuition Fee Loan from the first day the money is paid to your university or college until the loan is repaid in full or cancelled.
You can find out what interest you’ll be charged by visiting our Repayment Quick Start Guide
How is it paid?
The Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to your university or college.
Anything else you should know?
The Tuition Fee Loan isn't income assessed, which means that your entitlement doesn’t depend on your household income.
If you withdraw from university or college after attending on the first day of term, you may be liable to pay some of your fees. If you need to discuss this further, contact your university or college.
If you have served four years or more in the armed forces and are leaving, you may be eligible for fee support under the Enhanced Learning Credit scheme. For further information visit www.enhancedlearningcredits.com
