Last updated: 23 April 2026  ·  Governing law: England & Wales

1. About Us

StudentAid.uk ("we", "us", "our") is an independent education consultancy based in London, United Kingdom. We provide free guidance to help people already living in the UK on a valid visa understand whether they may qualify for student finance through Student Finance England (SFE).

We are not affiliated with Student Finance England, the Student Loans Company, or any UK government body. We are an independent third party.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website or submitting an eligibility enquiry, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or submit any form.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

3. Nature of Our Service

Our eligibility check is a free guidance service only. It is not a formal assessment by Student Finance England, and it does not guarantee any particular outcome. Final eligibility for student finance is determined solely by Student Finance England based on your individual application.

We will:

  • Review the information you provide and offer an honest first assessment of whether your circumstances suggest you may qualify
  • Refer you to our London-based partner consultancy for a free consultation if your situation looks promising
  • Tell you clearly and honestly if we do not think we can help

We will not:

  • Make any application to Student Finance England on your behalf without your explicit instruction
  • Guarantee any loan amount, entitlement, or outcome
  • Charge you any fee for the eligibility check or initial consultation

4. Not Financial or Legal Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, or immigration advice. The information provided is for general guidance purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

We strongly recommend that you independently verify your eligibility directly with Student Finance England via gov.uk/student-finance and, where appropriate, seek independent legal or immigration advice before making any decisions about your studies or finances.

5. Accuracy of Information

We make every effort to ensure the information on this website is accurate and up to date. However, student finance rules and eligibility criteria can change. We cannot guarantee that all information is current at the time you read it.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide in the eligibility form is accurate and complete. We cannot provide a reliable assessment based on inaccurate or incomplete information.

6. Referrals to Our Partner Consultancy

Where we believe you may qualify, we may refer your details to our London-based education consultancy partner for a free consultation. By submitting our eligibility form, you consent to this referral.

Our partner consultancy operates independently and under their own terms. Any subsequent engagement with them — including paid services beyond the initial free consultation — is a separate matter between you and them. We are not liable for any advice, service, or outcome arising from that engagement.

We may receive a referral fee from our partner if you proceed to enrol in a course. This does not affect the cost to you — the initial check and consultation remain free.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, StudentAid.uk shall not be liable for:

  • Any loss or damage arising from reliance on information provided on this website
  • Any unsuccessful student finance application made on the basis of our guidance
  • Any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss of any kind
  • Any act or omission of our partner consultancy following a referral

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, design, graphics, and the StudentAid.uk name and logo — is the property of StudentAid.uk and is protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use any content from this website without our prior written permission.

9. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external websites such as GOV.UK, university websites, or Student Finance England. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.
