You will have to provide proof of your income along with your parent or guardian's income if appropriate, you will also have to provide proof of your identity, your birth certificate or passport will do and if I remember correctly they accept photocopies. Your tuition is paid directly to your college or university. As soon as you have your acceptance letter and all the relevant information send your form away, SAAS are very busy and the later you send your form off the less chance there is of having your money by your course start date. Provided there are no problems you will receive your money straight into your bank account on the dates indicated on the letter you received from SAAS and the SLC. There are different types of loan you can apply for, an income assessed loan and a non income assessed loan. The student loans system is slightly different in each individual country of the UK, having only ever been a student in Scotland I can only explain the Scottish system. Obviously this means you have more to pay back but since you don't pay it back until you are earning in the region of fifteen thousand pounds a year, and your payments are related to your income you are, in my opinion better off getting as much of a loan as possible to get you through your studies and then you pay it back when you can afford it. Once you have your form sent away SAAS will send you a conformation letter within two weeks to let you know they have received it, then if they need additional information they will contact you again.
