• University College Admissions Service (UCAS) – studying at a university, college or music or performing arts conservatory, with advice on admissions, funding and open days

Financial support

You may be able to borrow money to help pay for college tuition fees and living costs. 

You might get extra money on top of this if you are:

• on a low income
• are disabled 
• have children

You start repaying your student loan once you earn over a certain amount. The size of your monthly repayments depend on how much you earn.

You’ll be charged interest on the loan from the day you take it out. The terms and conditions can change.

Find out more about student finance from GOV.UK.

The Southwark Scholarship Scheme provides scholarships for Southwark residents aged 18 to 25 who are applying for university.
