Footnotes

  1. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 1,000 borrowers.
  2. Plan 5 loans will replace Plan 2 loans for new entrants to full-time and part-time undergraduate courses and new borrowers of Advanced Learner Loans from Academic Year 2023/24.
  3. Where you see the symbol 'z' this refers to not applicable.
  4. Borrowers receiving both fee and maintenance loans for their course are included in both totals.
  5. Coverage: Borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England
  6. 2019 figures are provisional figures based on DfE analysis of SLC data.
  7. 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 2021-22 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.
