Private maintenance loans for student living costs
If you have already applied for student finance from the government to help cover daily expenses but feel you will still be short, a maintenance loan from Future Finance can help. We specialise in private loans for students and have supported thousands to cover tuition and cost of living for uni.
Whether you are trying to pay rent or need a new laptop for your studies, a private maintenance loan could help you with those necessary student expenses. Maintenance can be used for accommodation costs, course materials, transport, food or any expenses that may arise during your studies.
Designed for students

Difference between Future Finance tuition loan and maintenance loan
If you need support to cover your tuition fees, whether you are an undergraduate or a postgraduate student, our tuition loans will be sent directly to your university.
Our maintenance loans help to cover general living costs and expenses such as rent, food, course materials, travel and any other day-to-day expenses. A maintenance loan with Future Finance is paid directly to you in instalments, or as a lump sum, depending on your loan amount.
