Plan 1 Student loans

This section looks at Plan 1 income-based student loans. If you are unsure what type of student loan you have then the Student Loans Company (SLC) website has a tool to help you find out which kind of loan you have.

There are separate sections on our website for Plan 2 income-based loans, postgraduate loans and if you have both Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans.
