Can an Australian student get student support if choosing to study an undergraduate degree in England?

Question

I'm an Australian citizen and my parent's parents are from England and Malta. Does that mean I qualify for student support from the English Government?

Answer 1

You can probably qualify for student support if you gain permanent residency in England. This shouldn't be a problem as one of your parents is from England. It's a lengthy process though, but you will be much better off financially.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you have to be a national of an EU country to receive student support in the United Kingdom. Sorry.
