‘Student loans’ are that part of the Student Finance Direct
package that must be repaid once the student’s earned income
reaches a defined level. Repayments are made through the student’s
National Insurance Number and are taken from their income at
source.
Due to the size of the City of London Local Authority, in the
interest of best value, applications are processed by the London
Borough of Tower Hamlets. Application forms can be obtained from
the City of London by phoning us on 020 7332 1002 or by
email to
FYI@cityoflondon.gov.uk.
Completed application forms are to be sent to Tower Hamlets Student
Finance section at the following address:
Tower Hamlets Student Finance Section, Mulberry Place, 5 Clove
Crescent, London, E14 2BG.
The Directgov student finance website has been
built to help students find out exactly how much financial help
they are entitled to - from both the government and from
universities and colleges - and how to get hold of it.
A range of support is offered for students staying on at
school/college and those progressing to university. If you are
considering a university undergraduate course and seeking financial
support, further details and downloadable forms are available on
the Student Finance website or the City of
London's student support service if you live in the Square
Mile.

If you have a disability and you have extra
course-related costs to study or attend your course, you may
claim for certain extra expenses. These costs may, for
example, be due to physical disabilities, mental-health
problems, sensory impairments, specific learning difficulties or
medical conditions such as diabetes.
The Student Cash Point
website provides information on student grants, loans,
bursaries, scholarships and awards.
