Scholarships and funding
Five scholarship schemes, from 25 % to 80 % of the fee, plus discounts for early payment, for siblings and through employer agreements.
The scholarship fund

02Simulator
Tell it about yourself and the simulator highlights the schemes that fit, above. It does not assess, does not reserve anything and does not estimate your chances: it says which ones you could apply to.
03Funding
Ten equal instalments for upper secondary, five per term for higher education. It is the default plan and costs no more than paying in parts.
7 % off the term's total if it is settled before classes start.
10 % off the second child's instalment and 15 % off the third, combinable with a scholarship up to a cap of 80 %.
Partner employers with a current agreement get 12 % for their staff and immediate family.
If something unexpected happens, Student Finance will reschedule the term's balance with no surcharge, once per school year.
A scholarship and the discounts can be combined up to a maximum of 80 % of the fee. The sibling discount applies while both are enrolled at the same time.
