Students starting eligible courses from 1 January to 31 August 2027 can apply for funding, the UK government says.

- The scheme replaces the previous undergraduate funding system for eligible Student Finance England applicants.
- It also covers some postgraduate courses and courses previously funded through Advanced Learner Loans.

Why it matters: The entitlement provides a new route to student finance for eligible learners in England.
