Are you starting (or continuing) a full-time undergraduate course in September 2026? You can apply now for your Student Finance!
Visit www.studentfinanceni.co.uk to create or log in to your account and complete your application. New students are strongly recommended to apply by 30 April 2026.
Most students can receive a basic rate of student finance without any household income information. Your parents’ household income information could mean you can borrow more, and in some instances, receive additional grants.
Please note, if you wish to have your student finance assessed on your parents’ income then they must input their details online, including their National Insurance (NI) numbers, at the time of you completing your application. Student Finance will use the NI number to check parental income directly with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
In order to submit information online, parents need to create their own Student Finance NI account or use their existing account which will then be linked to your account.
