Worried the maintenance loan won't cover your rent? Here is what London students can actually get in 2026/27.

If you study and live in London, the maximum maintenance loan for 2026/27 is £13,762. Outside London, the maximum is £10,544. These figures come from Student Finance England and are based on your household income. The lower your household income, the closer to the maximum you can receive. 💷

The loan goes straight to your bank account in three instalments across the year. It does not cover tuition fees separately — that is a different loan entirely. If you are unsure which amount applies to your situation, use our calculator to get a personalised estimate. Check yours at unistart.app/funding.

ChatGPT image prompt

A woman in her mid-thirties sits at a kitchen table in a modest London flat, looking at printed documents with a focused but calm expression. The scene is lit by natural light coming through a window, giving the image warm, soft tones. The photography style feels documentary and candid, with no studio lighting, no exaggerated emotion, and a genuinely lived-in home environment visible in the background.
