Student Loans
New students
All new students, or students who are commencing new courses of Higher Education, must apply to Student Finance England.
The Student Loans Company (SLC) is responsible for all loan and grant payments/repayments of loans.
All enquiries regarding Student Finance must be directed in the first instance to the Customer Support Office at Student Finance England. Their customer service number is provided on all the correspondence sent to students. It is 0845 300 5090. All enquiries regarding the on-line application procedure must be directed to 0845 300 5090.
English LEA's only process student applications, and calculate entitlement to financial support, for their continuing students. Trafford Student Support handles only the financial assessments of their existing students. The Information and Guidance function was fully transferred to 0845 300 5090 in 2009 and all functions will have been transferred to Student Finance England by 31st March 2011.
Continuing students
If your present course started before September 2009, your application will still be processed by Trafford Council. Student Finance England has contacted all returning students directly regarding their applications for 2010/11. Please call 0845 300 5090 should you require further advice.
Should Student Finance England be unable to deal with your enquiry regarding your financial assessment, they will raise an electronic work task to Trafford Council on your behalf. We will respond to you accordingly.
