Guildhall School - Before you Leave Home Handbook 2020

Maintenance (living costs)
If you are expecting a student
maintenance loan (UK undergraduate
students only)
Your student maintenance loan from the
UK government should be transferred to
your account about a week after you fully
enrol. It will not be issued until you are
fully enrolled so any delays to enrolment
will delay your funding. Please note that
Student Finance will not release your
maintenance if they have not received your
online declaration.
If you are expecting a postgraduate loan
You will need to pay your deposit by 15
July 2020. You will then need to provide
documentation that you have an approved
Student Finance loan at enrolment. Provided
all other enrolment tasks are complete,
except the payment of fees, we will confirm
your attendance for your loan. Once we
have sent confirmation, the first instalment
of your loan (SFE or SFW) should be
transferred to your bank account within 3-5
working days. Once you have received the
first instalment of your loan, you will need
to pay the fees due for Term 1. Students are
responsible for paying their termly fees as
soon as their loan is received. (Other rules
may apply for SFNI and SAAS so please
contact the Student Funding Officer for
more information).
If you are expecting a scholarship for
maintenance from Guildhall School
If you are awarded a Guildhall School
Maintenance Scholarship this will be
disbursed in three equal instalments to a UK
Bank account from the end of week 2 of
each term.
We will contact you with instructions on
how to provide your bank details before
Enrolment, so please do this as soon as you
are prompted. Please refer to the terms
and conditions of your scholarship for full
details. Please also see the Money section.
