student finance help (parental income)
student finance is open for applications and my parents don’t know that i’m applying to completely different unis than i told them i would, and moving out for uni and they also don’t know that im planning on applying with estrangement which means i don’t need their income and i thought this wouldnt have been an issue HOWEVER. my dad heard from someone else that student finance is open and that they’ll need his details to complete the form and told me to let him know if i need anything from him. from my own research i know that student finance doesn’t tell the parent the course or uni information but i dont know what to do with my actual application now. i dont want to apply and input his details because then he’ll have to provide info and that would mean i don’t get the full maintenance loan and i’d have to reapply with estrangement later and i don’t know how that’ll look on his end with his parent account. on the other hand if i apply with estrangement now and don’t put in his details he’ll ask when i need his details and what details are required. i’m so lost i don’t know what to do and im really scared my parents are going to find out what i’ve done despite me trying my best to cover everything up without their knowledge so i can make a swift exit. i would appreciate any advice or information anyone has regarding this please!!! and i’m also happy to answer any questions.
