Is there anything I should be aware of if I'm funding my tuition fees through my employer, or through other means?

Alternative options to a student loan


Answer

If you are expecting an external organisation (e.g. your employer, a government organisation) to pay some or all of your tuition fee then you must send an official letter from your sponsor to the University. This letter should come on company-letter headed paper and include the following;

  • Your name and Student ID Number
  • Your course of study
  • The amount your sponsor agrees to pay on your behalf
  • Any reference/award number/ purchase order number they require to be included on the invoice
  • Invoicing address, email and contact telephone number  
  • The duration of the sponsorship (e.g. for one year only or the dates of the entire course of study)
  • Confirmation that your sponsor undertakes to pay the tuition fee direct to the university and not the student within 28 days from the date of invoice as per the University’s terms and conditions.

UK Company Sponsors finance-commercial@salford.ac.uk

International Company Sponsors - income-treasury@salford.ac.uk

Please ensure that you take the necessary steps to enable you to provide your sponsor letter at the beginning of each academic year.

Please note that if a sponsor fails to pay then the full amount of outstanding fees becomes the responsibility of the student.

International students who do not have confirmation of their sponsorship will be expected to pay a deposit of £5,500 to secure their place on a course. This deposit will be refunded once a valid sponsorship letter is produced and payment received from the sponsor. 

If you are expecting this to take some time then you will need to select the pay in instalments option in order to complete registration and once we get your sponsor letter and funding has been applied then we can cancel the instalments.
