Student grant

form


If you are a full-time UK student you will also be entitled to a means tested grant. New system students will be able to apply for a grant of up to £2,825pa.

Other allowances

Depending on your circumstances there are other allowances and grants which you may be entitled to such as the Childcare Grant, Adult Dependants’ Grant and Parents’ Learning Allowance.

If you think you may be entitled to any of these but are not sure, then once again, please don’t hesitate to contact the Student Finance Unit  Team (SFU) for additional information and advice.

The access to Learning Fund?

It is a sum of money allocated to colleges and universities by the Government to help eligible students who are experiencing severe financial hardship (additional to those commonly faced by students), as a result of entering higher education, or who may decide not to enter higher education for fear that they will experience extreme financial hardship.

To be eligible you must:

  • Be a home student on a recognised course of study in higher education
  • Have taken out your full Government Student Loan entitlement
  • Show that you are in genuine need of help and that you have explored all other ways of supporting yourself
  • Show that you are taking realistic steps to keep your costs down to a reasonable level

If you satisfy the above criteria, you may complete an application form, answer all the questions and supply supporting documentation as evidence.

Your application will be assessed to decide whether or not you qualify for assistance and, if you do, how much support you will receive. You will be advised of the decision and, if successful, how the award will be paid to you.
