Press release
The Student Loans Company (SLC) is asking part-time and postgraduate students in Wales to start planning their student finance for next academic year.
The student finance application service for part-time and postgraduate students will open in the summer, but students can sign up now to the Student Finance Wales (SFW) part-time and postgraduate mailing lists to receive an email when the services are live.
SLC advises students to apply as early as possible for their student finance, even if they don’t have a confirmed place on their course. This helps to ensure that their funding is in place at the start of term.
Part-time and postgraduate Master’s students in Wales can apply for a combination of loans and grants to help with their course and living costs. Postgraduate Doctoral students can apply for a loan to help them with their course and living costs.
Chris Larmer, SLC Executive Director, Operations said:
“SLC is committed to enabling opportunity through access to higher and further education, and we want to support as many students as possible to apply for student finance early, to ensure they have their funding in place at term start.
“By signing up to the mailing lists part-time and postgraduate students can be assured that they won’t miss the application window opening.”
