Footnotes

  1. Borrowers receiving both fee and maintenance loans for their course are included in both totals.
  2. Historic statistics on students receiving loans is published by Student Loans Company in the Student Support for Higher Education in England publication for 2019/20.
  3. The number of students receiving fee or maintenance loans.
  4. Coverage: Borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England
  5. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 1,000 borrowers.
  6. The outlay model only forecasts students as receiving loans up to six years after they entered higher education, therefore no Plan 1 outlay is forecasted in financial year 2020-21 onwards. However, there are some exceptional cases where students may still be paid a Plan 1 loan later than this, e.g. if they had suspended their studies.
