The year may have just started, but as always, the early weeks of January are a busy time for SLC.
We’ve been focused on paying second maintenance instalments to students who started in the autumn, as well as making the first payments to those students whose courses are getting underway in January.
Already this new year, we have paid out £3bn in maintenance loan funding to 3.1 million students, and we expect to pay out around £2.5 billion to universities and colleges in tuition fees in early February.
SLC exists to enable students to invest in their futures through higher and further education, and our colleagues across SLC are looking ahead and focussed on the opening of the 24/25 academic year’s application services in the early spring.
