Tax and supporting a full-time student

in Cutting tax
Here's the scenario:
I work full-time and my girlfriend(25+) is a full-time student, she gets no bursary, so in essence I support her.
Can I get tax relief on the support? The bursary is means tested and I earn too much for her to be allowed to have one.
We are not married, but live together, it's my house, I pay all mortgage, bills, etc.
Only benefit we have is 25% student discount for council tax.
Advise taken, thanks in advance.

basically no,
just like parents, who don't get tax relief for supporting uni students
presumably however, she can get students loans for fees and maintenance0 -
Or a weekend/evening job to contribute to the household.0
