Students Denied the Right to an Education
For many young people going to university, student loans provide essential financial support to fund tuition costs and maintenance monies during their studies. Low interest rates and good accessibility combine to make student loans a popular and useful resource to enable academically able pupils to complete a further education course. Unfortunately, there are a significant minority of people who are unable to obtain this vital funding through no fault of their own; if a young person isn’t a British citizen and does not have indefinite leave to remain in the UK, they are ineligible for a student loan, following changes to the eligibility criteria in 2011.
