Returning Your Completed Forms
In most cases applications for student support in England are submitted to Local Authorities. This year some LAs are taking part in a pilot scheme - the address for sending in completed forms may be different from previous years.
To identify your LA and their contact details please refer to the LA Finder.
08/09 Full-time Students
These guidebooks provide detailed information on all aspects of the financial support available during 08/09:
Note: We recommend that new students applying for support in 08/09 submit their passport as proof of identity. Those students who are not passport holders can submit their Birth or Adoption Certificate, but must also complete and return the Birth/Adoption Certificate Declaration Form (122kB). This form contains two separate declarations. The Applicant's Declaration of Identity must be signed by the student to confirm their identity. The Identity Confirmation Form is to verify your identity and must be completed by a person of good standing in the community who has known you for at least two years.
