We deal with applications for financial assistance from the Access to Learning Fund (ALF) and other schemes such as the Additional Fee Support Scheme (AFSS); Short Term Loans and emergency assistance. We are available to answer questions relating to the funds and also general questions about statutory funding such as student loans and tuition fees. We also approve US Direct Loans, Veteran Affairs (GI Funding) and Private Loans for US Students.

The Student Money Advice team provides confidential specialist advice about student funding and can also help with general advice about budgeting, debt and welfare benefit entitlement.  

We advise students who are planning to study at Leeds Met as well as current Leeds Met students.  We can help with advice about the financial implications of changing course, withdrawing or taking time out from study. We can help to ensure that students receive their full funding and welfare benefit entitlement.  

You can contact us on our Telephone Advice Line on 0113 812 5593.  It is open 10am-1pm Tuesday; 10am-1pm Thursday

Calls to the advice line are limited to 15 minutes, but an appointment can be arranged with an adviser if more time is needed.
