Many children of EEA Migrant workers risk to drop out of university as a result of delays caused by Student Finance in processing information received.
The procedure can take up to a month and sometimes even more.
Leaving the students with no financial options and no real time updates.

Leaving the students with no financial options and no real time updates.
We risk to get thrown out/receive severe fines by breaking rental contracts with accommodations and Universities.
Furthermore, go through emotional distress, harming our academics; leading many to drop out.
We demand changes in Student Finance evidence timing process by
1.Giving real times updates online.
2.Evidence must be requested at least one month prior the start of term.
Additionally, implement a financial system that can sustain the student whilst SFE is dealing with the application.
