Student loans for fees

Help from the Government

From 2006 full-time higher education will be free at the point of entry for all Home and EU students.

After September 2006, all new and continuing students will be able to take out a fee loan to cover all or part of their tuition fees. This loan for fees is paid direct to the University by the Student Loans Company. You will only start repaying your loan in the April after you have left Higher Education, and when you are in work and are earning over £15,000 per year. Repayments are linked to the amount of money you are earning and are designed to be small and affordable. In one year you will pay back 9% of the difference between your salary and £15,000. So, for example, if you graduate and get a job with a salary of £20,000 per year you will pay back 9% of £5,000 in that year, which works out at £8.65 per week. There is a small amount of interest on the loan, but this is only at the rate of inflation, so in real terms you will only pay back what you borrowed.
