Student Loans
Almost everyone has to take out student loans in order to cover the costs of higher education. They are specifically designed for students, so their interest rate only increases with the rate of inflation, meaning you will only pay back as much as you borrow. They are managed by the Student Loans Company and come in the form of a Student Loan for Maintenance and a Student Loan for Fees.
Features of student loans include:
- All eligible full-time higher education students can take out a loan for the full amount of your fees contribution
- How much maintenance loan you are entitled to is dependent on such things as household income, where you are studying, and how much you receive in student grants.
- You do not have to start repaying the loan until you are earning a certain amount, and how much you pay is correlative to your earnings.
While student loans are commonplace and intended to assist you in higher education, it is advisable to not take out more than you will need, as tempting as it may seem, because it will have to be paid back eventually and can have an effect on other borrowings you might apply for in the future, such as mortgages.
