UG/PGT Sponsorship Document Upload (Excluding NMPC Students)
For undergraduate and postgraduate taught students who have already...
King's College London welcomes students from over 150 countries around the world and the requirements and business processes for each sponsor can vary considerably.
If your tuition fees are being paid to King's College London, by any of the specific sponsors below, then please familiarise yourself with the requirements so that we are able to promptly generate the fee invoice to them and to secure payment from them.
Once you have successfully applied to the Student Loans Company for funding of your undergraduate tuition fees, you should receive a 'loan entitlement letter' from them to confirm the amount that they are paying towards your fees.
In addition, Kings’ College London receive regular automatic updates from the Student Loans Company which are used to base the invoicing process on.
Those students who have applied successfully to receive part funding of their fees, will receive an invoice in October for the balance of fees that they are responsible for, but this will not be payable until 31 January. If you wish to do so, you can make part or full payment before the January due date.
If you have been sent a tuition fee invoice, but understood from the Student Loans Company that they are funding your fees, then we would strongly advise you to contact Student Finance England to discuss your situation. Whilst you may have been sent a loan entitlement letter previously, Student Finance England do re-assess applications and can change their funding decision and as a result the student can then become personally liable for the fees. If after speaking to Student Finance, they agree to fund your fees, then ask them to send you an updated loan entitlement letter which you will need to provide to Credit Control.
Upon receipt of a new valid financial notification letter, Credit Control can liaise with the Student Funding Office to arrange to amend your fee liability accordingly.
Please visit our Student Funding web pages for further information about Applying for Student Loans and Grants.
If you are confused by a decision from the SLC and/or you wish to challenge it, you may find it useful to speak to the Money Housing and Advice Services (MHAS) team within King’s Student Services. There are Specialist Money Advisers within the team who are experts on the eligibility criteria for UK funding and will be able to advise you on the SLC decision and any options you may have with respect to appealing the decision or complaining about how your application was handled.
Please note that the Postgraduate Master's and Doctoral SLC Loans are paid to students directly. This means that, if you are in receipt of either, you will be considered a self-funded student.
Student Finance will communicate with KCL regarding all Postgraduate Masters’ or Doctoral Loans which have been approved, and your fee due dates will subsequently be adjusted to reflect your loan’s payment schedule.
If you are in receipt of a PG SLC loan, and you find your fee due dates have not been adjusted accordingly, please contact Credit Control and provide a copy of your loan entitlement letter from SFE.
Please visit our Student Funding web pages for further information about Applying for Student Loans and Grants.
In order to invoice the Saudi Embassy, we require a copy of the Financial Sponsorship Letter (FSL). Please ensure that your correct course name is shown in the “Course Degree Title” field on the FSL.
If you do not have this available at the point of enrolment, then you should instead provide a copy of the equivalent Financial Guarantee Letter in the interim. Once you have obtained your 'Non-Standard Confirmation of Study' letter post enrolment and you have provided this to your academic supervisor at the Saudi Embassy, then you should be able to obtain the FSL from the embassy. Please then email this to Credit Control.
Where you have applied and have successfully secured funding from NHS England specifically for your tuition fees, then King's College London will be informed by them directly.
Where funding has not been confirmed by the NHS by the end of November, you will be invoiced directly in early December, with payment due from you, by 31 January.
If you have received the invoice but then apply and receive funding from NHS England late, then please upload evidence of the funding through one of the forms at the bottom of this page.
If you are intercalating to King's from another university, you should upload a copy of the NHS Bursary Notification of Award letter within the enrolment task. If you have already enrolled, then please raise a query through Student Services Online clearly stating that you are an intercalating student.
If you are in receipt of any of the US based loans listed below, you will not need to upload sponsorship evidence before or after enrolment.
You are required to liaise with King's Student Funding Office (SFO) to ensure your application is progressed accordingly, and that your loan is approved/certified by them so that KCL can receive payment as and when your loan is disbursed.
In order to invoice the embassy, King's College London need a copy of your Financial Sponsorship Letter (FSL). If you do not have the FSL when you enrol then you should provide a copy of the equivalent Financial Guarantee Letter in the interim. Once you have obtained your 'Confirmation of Study' letter after enrolment, then you should email this to Credit Control. If you were not able to provide either the FSL or the guarantee letter at enrolment, then please also email this to Credit Control.
Please upload a copy of your financial sponsorship letter containing your unique funding reference in the enrolment task.
All students sponsored by ELCAS are required to provide a current copy of their Claim Authorisation Note (CAN), and upload this during enrolment. The CAN must be for the correct academic year and contain the unique CAN reference, which will be different each academic year. It must also match the correct total academic year fee and course name, otherwise the tuition fee invoice will be rejected by ELCAS.
If you cannot obtain your CAN before enrolment and are invoiced personally for your fees as a result, provide this directly to Credit Control.
If you are undertaking a Nursing course or module at King's College London and your tuition fees are being funded by one of the following NHS trusts, then you are NOT required to provide evidence of funding in the enrolment task nor post enrolment.
If your NHS Trust is not listed above, but is paying your tuition fees via contract funds then they will liaise with your department regarding invoicing.
However, if the fees are not paid via a contract, then you should submit a copy of the official purchase order document as part of your online enrolment task.
If you have already enrolled, please upload a copy of the purchase order/funding evidence through one of the forms at the bottom of this page.
If King's College London has awarded you an internal scholarship, studentship or one off award for funding from an internal department, then the 'budget holder' of the funds, or awarding department, must liaise with the appropriate records centre responsible for your course records.
They will need to provide the appropriate department with your student ID, amount or percentage of funding, academic year the funding is for and the course they are funding:
You may have secured either a scholarship or studentship from one of the following external bodies, which is then being paid to and administered by King's College London. In such instances, the department of King's that is administering your award is expected to liaise with the appropriate department listed below, to ensure that they are aware of your funding so your sponsorship record can be created in the system.
If this record is not created, then it can result in you receiving the invoice directly and deadlines for payment being missed. Known sponsorships of this kind include:
Please upload the funding letter through one of the forms at the bottom of this page.
