What are the maintenance loan payment dates for 2022-23?
Student loans are paid in three instalments, but the exact day you’ll receive yours depends on your term start date.
If your course starts in September, you should receive your payments in September, January and April.
That means if you started in September 2022, you should expect payments to hit your account soon into the New Year, and then in April.
The payments are sent by Student Finance Wales, Northern Ireland and England or, if you’re in Scotland, the Student Awards Agency Scotland.
Student Finance England (SFE) says it can take up to three days for payments to reach a student’s account, so it’s best to make sure you have some money to cover immediate costs like transport and your first rent payment.
Student can will usually receive a text or email to confirm when they will be paid each instalment.
