The amount of maintenance help available varies across the UK.
Undergraduate students in England and Wales can borrow more for day-to-day living costs in 2025-26 than in previous years.
The maximum maintenance loan for students from England living away from their parents outside of London, for example, rose to £10,544 for 2025-26, up from £10,227 the previous year. That will increase to £10,830 for 2026-27.
The government is reintroducing maintenance grants of up to £1,000 per year for students from lower income households in England on courses that support its Industrial Strategy. They will be available from 2028 and the government is still drawing up a list of eligible courses.
