Closed petition Change Student Finance England payments to be monthly rather than termly

Closed on 5 November 2023

The Sabbatical officers from Chichester, Winchester and Canterbury Christ Church Students' Unions have taken it upon themselves to ask SFE to change their payments to a more 'real-world' scenario of monthly payments, which we believe will help students to budget more effectively.

We have received a huge amount of feedback in support of this from students at our Universities, some of whom have said that monthly payments to students would create a more "real-world" scenario of payments that could push forward healthier approaches to budgeting for students, and that termly payments do not encourage this, and enable students to overspend at the start of these payments, which can end in stressed, overworked students.
