The Department for Education (DfE) has launched a call for evidence on the timing of student finance payments under the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). It asks whether maintenance loans should be paid more often than three times a year, including monthly, and whether tuition fee loan payment points should change for future years. The call for evidence closes on Monday 11 January 2027, and the DfE does not plan a formal consultation to follow. You can read more in our post.
We are preparing an IHE response and want to hear from colleagues responsible for:
- student support, financial wellbeing, and student attendance and engagement
- administration of student funding
- financial planning and cash flow
We want to understand the risks and opportunities for different programme types, student groups and delivery models. Please come ready to share real examples and scenarios we can use to test the proposals and identify potential problems.
