ELIGIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE

If you live at university but your permanent address is in the London Borough of Lambeth and has been so for at least one year, you should answer yes. All students studying full time degree courses need to show evidence that they have lived in Lambeth for at least one year before the course started. We will also accept applications from: a) individuals who are rehoused outside Lambeth but are still in the care of Lambeth Council; b) individuals who have recently moved into Lambeth immediately after a custodial sentence and are planning to make Lambeth their permanent residence; c) individuals rehoused in Lambeth with support by an external agency/housing services as a result of domestic violence. Please contact the Grants Team if any of these scenarios apply to you, prior to making an application.


Due to the high cost of childcare for young children that do not qualify for the Government free hours of childcare, we do not accept childcare applications for children under 9 months.


For university students, we expect you to apply for tuition fee loan, maintenance loan and maintenance grant. For college applicants, we expect you to apply for 24+ advanced learning loan

If you have answered ‘no’ to any of the questions above you will not be eligible for a grant from us and should not complete this form
