As the BNO route only opened in January 2021, the earliest a person is likely to become settled (and have access student finance) is in January 2026. As such, all persons who have been granted leave under the BNO route, are not currently able to access student finance.</p><p>Home Office statistics show that 140,300 people have arrived in the UK on the scheme since it began.
