Worried the maintenance loan won't cover your rent? Here is what London students can actually get in 2026/27.

If you study and live in London, the maximum maintenance loan for 2026/27 is £13,762. Outside London, the maximum is £10,544. These figures come from Student Finance England and are based on your household income. The lower your household income, the closer to the maximum you can receive. 💷

The loan goes straight to your bank account in three instalments across the year. It does not cover tuition fees separately — that is a different loan entirely. If you are unsure which amount applies to your situation, use our calculator to get a personalised estimate. Check yours at unistart.app/funding.
