As an undergraduate student at the University of Greenwich, you may be eligible to apply for financial support from Student Finance England (SFE), including a Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan.
Tuition Fee Loan
A Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the University on your behalf to help cover your tuition fees.
Eligibility depends on factors including your residency status and nationality. For information about eligibility and how to apply, visit Student Finance England
Maintenance Loan
A Maintenance Loan can help with your living costs while you study, including accommodation, food and travel. The amount you may be able to receive depends on your individual circumstances.

Support for estranged students
If you are an estranged student and need support with your Student Finance application, including confirmation of your estrangement, Student Fees and Financial Support (SFFS) can help.
We can arrange a meeting with the University Contact for Estranged Students to discuss your circumstances, the evidence available and the next steps. We can also provide guidance if you need to prepare a written statement for Student Finance England.
To access this support, submit an enquiry through SLM Home | Digital Student Centre and request a meeting regarding estrangement confirmation.

Important information
- You must sign and return your Student Loan Declaration to receive your Maintenance Loan into your bank account.
- Student support is usually paid in instalments at the start of each term. Once you have completed your registration, Student Finance England will release your first payment. This can take 2–3 days to reach your account.
- If you miss the application deadline, Student Finance England may not release your funding for September. Short-term emergency loans may be available for eligible full-time home undergraduate students until their first payment arrives. You can apply by visiting your campus Student Centre.
- If you have previously studied a higher education course, you may not be eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan or Maintenance Loan. Review the rules around withdrawing, interrupting or transferring to a new course, as this may affect your access to student finance.
