Money for higher education
Money for Higher Education
Most people borrow the money to pay for Higher Education tuition fees and living costs through a loan from Student Finance England.
You do not start making any payments until you are earning over £25000 per year. So if for example you were earning £30,000 per year you would pay back £37.50 per month.

Employer sponsorship
Depending on what you are interested in studying you might find that some employers will help fund your degree through an employer sponsored degree.
You could also consider a Higher or Degree Apprenticeship where you do a degree whilst you are working without any fees.
Disabled Students Allowance
If you currently get extra support at school, you could be entitled to claim additional support for higher education. This allowance is called Disabled Students Allowance and exists to cover the study-related costs you have at higher education, because of a mental health problem, long term illness, specific learning difficulty or any other disability.
