If you are eligible for Student Finance and have successfully completed your application for funding, Student Finance will inform King’s if you are receiving a Postgraduate Master’s Loan. You do not need to inform the University of your funding.

Important to know: When your invoice is first issued, it will show as being due in two equal instalments. However, the Credit Control team will re-schedule the invoice into three equal instalments with due dates to match your loan disbursements. The team will then email your King's email address to confirm this change has been made. For more information on the process, please visit the Credit Control Postgraduate SLC Loans webpage.
