If you've changed your name, you must complete a digital Change of Circumstances application in Yuor MyFunding account.
You must also upload a covering letter to your MyFunding account, explaining the change and one of the following original documents as evidence:
- Marriage certificate
- Civil partnership certificate
- Decree Nisi or Absolute
- Deed Poll certificate.
You must update your details in your MyFunding account using the 'Edit' button on the 'Personal Details' section of your account.
You must make sure your university is aware of your current name. This is because your university may need to send us details about your course. We must hold the same name as they do so we can match this information to your record.
If you've had a change in your relationship status, you may need to complete another application depending on your course and circumstances.
Undergraduate course students
You don't need to complete another application to tell us about any changes to your relationship status, as any bursary awarded to you is not assessed based on anyone else in your household.
Postgraduate course students
If you've only been awarded the Placement Travel Allowance (PTA), Basic Bursary, Disabled Students Allowances (DSAs), or tuition fee support and don't wish to be considered for any of the additional income assessed elements, there's no need to inform us of your change of relationship status.
You'll also need to complete another application in your MyFunding account if you have a change in your living arrangements that may affect your award.
After the application form has been completed in your MyFunding account, upload any evidence of your change and any income or expenses that was not previously supplied.
We'll reassess your entitlement within 20 working days and notify you of the outcome by email.
We'll contact you if we need any further information or evidence from you.
