Access Tools

Part time students on courses that are 50% or more of an equivalent full time course can apply for support.

There are three different fee grants depending on how intensive your course is:

1. Equivalent to 50% to 59% of the full time course - £785.

2. Equivalent to 60% to 74% of the full time course - £945

3. Equivalent to 75% or more of the full time course - £1180

Part time students can also apply for a course grant of up to £255 towards travel, books and other course costs.

Entitlement to the grants depends on your income and that of your husband, wife or partner.

If you are on a part time teacher training course, you are not eligible for part time grants but you may qualify for full time support.

A guide for part time students is available from this office. To obtain a copy of the booklet contact us using the details below.
