Students can check whether they qualify for a maintenance loan, bursary, scholarship or university hardship fund, with rules varying across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Most full-time students do not have to pay council tax, although there are exceptions and evidence may be required. Some students may qualify for benefits or other support depending on their circumstances, such as having children, a disability or a low household income. Check your university’s student services team and the relevant gov.uk guidance for current eligibility and application details.
