Footnotes
- Coverage: All borrowers who receive loans through Student Finance England. For further details on eligibility, please see the Student Finance England practitioner website: https://www.practitioners.slc.co.uk/products (opens in a new tab).
- The outlay model only forecasts students as receiving loans up to six years after entering higher education; therefore, no Plan 1 outlay is forecast. However, there are some exceptional cases where students may still be paid a Plan 1 loan across our forecast horizon, for example, if they had suspended their studies.
- Financial year 2024-25 outlay figures are actuals as published by the Student Loans Company (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-loans-in-england-2024-to-2025 (opens in a new tab)) with the exception of Advanced Learner Loans Plan 2 and Plan 5 outlay.
- A summary timeline of the introduction of different plan types is available in Table 1.1 in the publication Methodology: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/student-loan-forecasts-for-england-methodology
- Some students, including EU students with pre-settled status and some part-time students (Student finance for undergraduates: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) (opens in a new tab)), are not eligible for maintenance loans.
- Outlay figures have been rounded to the nearest £5 million.
- Where you see the symbol 'z' this means not applicable. For example, there are no ALL Plan 2 borrowers modelled after 2024/25.
- Where you see ‘low’, this refers to figures which round to 0, but are not 0.
