Can I apply for student finance if I have a previous loan?

Yes, it is possible to apply for student finance even if you have a previous loan. Student Finance considers various factors in determining eligibility for new funding, such as the type of previous loan, the amount already repaid, and the terms of the new study program being pursued. If you are still within the repayment period of a prior loan, this could affect the amount of funding available to you, depending on your financial circumstances and the specific type of student finance you are seeking. It is also worth noting that different rules apply based on the country within the United Kingdom. Therefore, students are encouraged to review the relevant guidelines that pertain to their specific situation, which can be found on the official Student Finance website. This will provide the most accurate and current information, including eligibility criteria and application processes.
