2. Submit a student finance application and be 'means-tested' by Student Finance England (SFE) or equivalent funding authority.

Please make sure you consent to share with the College your household income information (Your household income is your parents' or partner's income, plus yours) to SFE. This is important as we need to be able to access your household income information to determine your eligibility for this scholarship.
