Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am quite unsure of my wording but would like to request the following information:

In each of the academic years beginning 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and up to the present day,

1. How many cases/complaints have there been where a student or incoming student has been considered a 'home fee status student' by the University but not by the government?

2. How many complaints have been made by a student or incoming student about not being considered a 'home fee status student' by the government?

3. Has the University offered financial support to students who cannot access financial support from the government? If so, how many students and what is the totalling amount of financial aid in the academic year?

4. How many complaints have been made regarding difficulty or problems accessing government financial support? (e.g from SFE or SAAS)

Please let me know if I can clarify anything or if you have any advice!
Hope you have a nice weekend.
