*Student Finance England Update for 2012 / 13

Student Finance England has improved the application process for existing students to make it quicker and easier for you to re-apply for your student finance.

How to reapply will depend on your personal circumstances as follows:

Students applying for student finance which depends on their household income (i.e. depends on their parents' income or their partner's income) should reapply online for their student finance as usual.
Students who, last year, applied for student finance which did not depend on their household income, and who wish to be assessed for the same non-means tested student finance this year, will be sent a Student Finance Entitlement letter by the end of February 2012 which includes a declaration form to sign and return. If you were not non means-tested last year and will not need to be this year, your funding will be processed automatically and you should wait to hear from Student Finance England
