Main sources of Government and University support for home students beginning their studies in 2013
Your eligibility for support depends on where you live. This table refers to home students living in England. All home/EU students, irrespective of household circumstances, can take out a tuition fee loan, which covers the cost of the tuition fee for each year of their course. However, the arrangements are different for students living in the EU, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. For details, refer to Government support.
