Financial help for part time students
The main sources of help for low income part-time students
are:
- A Fee Grant (to help with tuition fees) paid directly to
your college or university.
- A Course Grant (to help with study costs, such as books,
materials and travel) paid directly to you
What’s available will depend on your personal circumstances and
the course you’re doing.
You won’t have to repay any help you get through the Fee Grant
or Course Grant.
How much will I get?
The maximum fee grant for 2009 to 2010 is £1,210. The
maximum course grant is £260, but the actual payment will depend on
the duration of your course and your household income.
How can I find out more?
The Student Finance England website contains detailed
information about eligibility and how to apply. Application
forms (form PTG1) will be available online from June 2009.
