Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions (“terms”) and
applicable legislation apply to all of the student
finance available to students for the academic year
2021/22.
I understand that I must read the specific terms
about the student finance products available
because they will affect me if I apply for them at
any time in this academic year.
I understand that my application for student
finance may be delayed unless I sign and date
these terms.

terms and A Guide to Terms and Conditions
available at www.studentfinanceni.co.uk/

2. I confirm that to the best of my knowledge and
belief, the information I have provided is true
and complete. If it is not, I understand that I
may not receive student finance, any support
I have had may be withdrawn and I could be
prosecuted.
3. I understand that student finance is provided
to me by the Department for the Economy (the
“Lender”) which includes any persons acting
on its behalf and any replacement(s) under
Article 4(3) of the Education (Student Support)
(Northern Ireland) Order 1998 as amended or
replaced from time to time (the “Order”).
4. I understand these terms, the Order and the
regulations made under Article 3 of the Order
will apply to any student finance provided to
me by the Lender.
5. I understand that “student finance” in these
terms means financial support by way of
grant(s) and/or loan(s) made by the Lender
under the regulations.

Limited (“SLC”) and the Education Authority
(“EA”) carry out certain functions on behalf of
the Lender.
My Obligations
7. I understand that if I have:
i. reached the age of 18 years; and
ii. have entered into agreement(s) for a loan
under the Order before I reached the age
of 18 years,
I am agreeing to “ratify” any and all such
student loans by signing these terms.
This means that I confirm I entered into
agreement(s) with the Lender and agree to
the terms of any such previous agreement(s).
If I have reached the age of 18 and refuse
to “ratify” any previous agreement(s), I
understand that I will not be eligible to get any
further student finance under the regulations.
8. I agree to give SLC and EA any information
they need in support of this application for
student finance and to seek repayment.
9. I agree to tell SLC and EA immediately if my
circumstances change in any way that might
affect my entitlement to student finance. I
understand that if I do not do this I may not get
any further payments and I may have to repay
the student finance I have already received.
I agree that from the date I submit my
student finance application until my loan(s),
together with all and any interest, penalties
and charges which apply, is fully repaid I
must tell SLC and EA about any changes in
my personal details (including my National
Insurance number) and contact details I have
provided.
10. I agree that if I get an overpayment of student
finance, I need to repay this in full and that
any overpayment may be taken from any
future entitlement to student finance.
11. I agree that I will repay the Lender any loan(s),
together with all and any interest, penalties
and charges which apply. I understand that
this repayment will be due by me to the
Lender as a debt. If I breach any of the terms
of my loan, I agree to pay any charges and
penalties which apply under the Order and
the regulations. I understand that I will repay
my loan(s) through the United Kingdom (“UK”)
tax system and/or I may repay SLC directly.
If I live abroad, I will repay my loan(s) to SLC
directly.
