Going to university is a big investment in your future. Loans, grants and bursaries can offer you financial support while you study.
### UK Government Student Finance
The UK government provides a package of financial support for undergraduate students, called Student Finance. We have written a [guide](https://www.welfare.qmul.ac.uk/guides/undergraduate-funding-2016-onwards-starters-home-and-eu/) all about how much funding you can get, who is eligible, how to apply, and how repayments work.
