Parents

This page explains the parental income assessment in UK student finance for 2026/27, covering what parents must do via the SFE online portal, the evidence needed, which tax year's income is used, and what happens if parents won't cooperate (minimum Maintenance Loan of £5,048 for living away outside London). People land on it when they are under 25, applying for a Maintenance Loan, and need to know what their parents have to provide or how to handle a change in parental income.

Mainly UK students under 25 applying for student finance, plus their parents, looking for practical guidance on the income assessment; the largest audience country in the data is Brazil, which is unexpected for UK-specific content.

A mention would suit student-focused financial products such as student bank accounts, budgeting apps, or UK student money-advice services, as well as parent-oriented tools like savings or income-documentation helpers. It would read most naturally near the sections on Maintenance Loan amounts, living costs, or what to do if parents won't cooperate, though traffic is thin (23 organic clicks in 28 days) and the audience is narrow, so few brands outside UK student finance would fit.
