Advanced Learner Loans

From August 2016 the funding arrangements for learners aged 19 and over and studying Level 3 to Level 6 courses changed. Government funding has been removed and a new loan scheme to help learners fund courses set up.

This means that rather than having to pay for their course up front, learners have the option of accessing a loan from The Student Loans Company that they will only need to start repaying after they have left the course and are earning over £25,000 per year. Your application must be supported by a ‘Learning and funding information’ letter from the college (you should have received this already by email, if not, please contact us at admissions admissions@crawley.ac.uk).
