Fee status guidance
We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Students will be classified as Home or Overseas fee status. Your fee status determines tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available. If you receive an offer, your fee status will be clearly stated alongside the tuition fee information.
Do you need your fee classification to be reviewed?
If you believe that your fee status has been classified incorrectly, you can complete a fee status assessment questionnaire. Please follow the instructions in your offer information and provide the documents needed to reassess your status.

Eligibility for student loans
Eligibility for student finance (including the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE)) will depend on certain criteria, such as your nationality, residency status, course, and previous level of study. The information below is based on the package of financial support available to students starting their course in 2026.
Check if you're eligible for student finance.
Home students residing in England
Tuition Fee Loan
- Eligible Home students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, which is not based on household income, to cover your tuition fees
- If you are an EU student and eligible for student finance, you may be able to get a Tuition Fee Loan to cover your fees
- The Loan is paid directly to the University so, if you choose to take the full Tuition Fee Loan, you won’t have to set up any payments
Maintenance Loan for living costs
- You can apply for a Maintenance Loan to help with your living costs, such as accommodation, food, books and bills
- This loan is means-tested, so the amount you receive is partially based on your household income and if you choose to live at home or in accommodation
- For the latest information about student loans, including how you repay them, visit gov.uk/student-finance

EU students
If you’re starting a course on or after 1 August 2021, you usually must have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme to get student finance.
Tuition Fee Loan
If you are an EU student and eligible for student finance you may be able to get a Tuition Fee Loan to cover your fees. It is non-means tested, which means the amount you may receive is not based on your household income. The Loan is paid directly to the University so, if you choose to take the full Tuition Fee Loan, you won't have to set up any payments.
Help with living costs
If you struggle to meet your essential living costs, our Student Funding team will be on hand to offer advice and support.
There are a number of options that may be available to you including government, bursary and/or hardship support. Warwick also has a number of bursaries and scholarships that you may be eligible to apply for, including The Warwick Bursary.
Repaying your loans
You will repay your loan or loans gradually once you are working and earning above a certain amount. For students starting their course after 1 August 2023 (on Student Finance England’s Plan 5), you will repay when your income is over £25,000 a year.
Repayments will be taken directly from your salary if you are an employee. If your income falls below the earnings threshold or you stop working, your repayments will stop until your income goes back up above this figure.
