If you are unsure of what funding you might be eligible for the Leeds Met Student's Union Advice Service can advise you on what student funding you may be entitled to.  You may be entitled to additional funding if, for example, you need to pay for childcare, have a disability, or have dependents that rely on you financially.

If you are having problems getting funded through Student Finance England, we can communicate with them on your behalf.

Some students are not eligible for funding from Student Finance England.  This includes international students, asylum seeking students, and students who have previously studied at degree level.  If you are in any doubt about your eligibility, you can discuss this with us.
