Eligibility and the bursary fund
Loan eligibility depends on age, level and residency. There is no credit check or income test for the loan itself. A separate Advanced Learner Loans Bursary Fund supports costs such as childcare, travel and learning materials.
Recording loans in the ILR
The Advanced Learner Loan indicator (ADL) and associated bursary (ALB) codes identify loan-funded aims so they are excluded from grant funding and reported correctly.
Indicative summary only. Always confirm against the official source documents before making funding or compliance decisions.
