UPDATE TO INDEPENDENT STUDENT CRITERIA

Students classed as financially independent have their grant assessed on their own income instead of their parents’ income.

What has changed?

The definition of an independent student now includes students who have:

• Worked full time in Jersey for at least 3 years before starting their course.
• Work completed must have been undertaken as an adult aged 18 or over.
• Full time usually means 35 hours per week. If you work fewer hours for a valid reason, contact student finance as you may still be eligible.
• This change applies from September 2025. Students who meet the updated criteria may have their application reassessed for the current academic year.
• Students who have lived in separate accommodation from their parents for 3 years before their course start will continue to be treated as independent.

Questions?

Updated guidance will be published on our website next week under ‘Who can receive student finance’

Student finance will shortly be contacting students who are aged 21 to 25 who may be eligible under the new definition.

If you do not hear from us and believe you meet the criteria, please contact us directly using the details below.
