Higher Education Funding

Student loans and finance can be daunting. Here at Carlisle College Higher Education, we have experienced staff to provide information about grants and bursaries available to you during your time at Carlisle College. If you’re unsure where to start, check out the following information!

Tuition Loan

Every new student is entitled to a Tuition Fee Loan (from Student Finance England) of up to £9,250 to cover tuition costs.

The amount you borrow is the amount that the College charges and it does not depend on your household income, nor do they check your credit report.

Tuition fees vary depending on the course and mode of study. You may also be eligible for a range of support to support your studies, including bursaries and scholarships.

Maintenance Loan

The Maintenance Loan is a student loan provided by the government, and it's intended to help cover your living costs while you're at university. Rent, bills, food, nights out – all of these things and more are what the Maintenance Loan is there to help you pay for.

The maximum Maintenance Loan is £13,022. This is paid to students living away from home and in London whose annual household income is £25,000 or less.
