Parent/Guardian Q&A: Student Finance

As a parent, you probably have a lot of questions about your child’s Student Finance, including about how much you should be contributing yourself, or how your child can support themselves and their independence with Maintenance Loans, scholarships, or bursaries.  

Every student's situation is different and will need different levels of support from Student Finance, and the Student Funding Team is happy to advise you of the options available.

There are lots of misconceptions about student loans and how they work, so Student Finance England has provided resources to help understand the mechanics of the student loan. You can also find more information in our help centre by searching Student Finance.
