Final-year Fees Free

Overview

Claim eligible final-year study or final two years of work-based learning fees after completing your first qualifying programme.

Eligibility points to check

Check completion date, course, residency, previous study and funding. It is not upfront free tuition; payments normally reduce an existing student-loan balance first.

How to proceed

After completion, apply through myIR following Inland Revenue guidance and check deadlines.

Before you apply

Have identity and residence details, income or asset information, and any relevant medical, tenancy, care or study evidence ready. The official application page decides the exact documents required.

Key amounts and dates to confirm

• Payment amount, income or asset limits
• When payments normally start and whether backdating is possible
• When support ends and whether renewal or updates are required
• Whether it can be combined with other support and whether repayment applies

These figures and dates depend on your circumstances and policy changes; iKoru does not estimate them.
