PART TIME GRANT UPDATE – CONTINUING STUDENTS

We are writing to advise that part-time students who started their course before 1st September 2012 can now apply for a Fee Grant and Course Grant for academic year 13/14.
 
To qualify for the Grants, which do not have to be paid back, students must be studying at a course intensity level of at least 50% of the full time equivalent per year, taking no longer than twice the time it would take to complete the course if studied full time (up to a maximum of 8 years).
 
Their household income will be taken into consideration too.
 
We would like to share this information with as many of our partners as possible and would appreciate your support if you could forward these messages on to others within your organisation, as appropriate.
 
Continuing students, who applied for part-time funding last year, will be e-mailed a link to the application form (PTGC) which they should complete, have their HEI sign and stamp and return to us. The application form can also be downloaded from our website at: www.gov.uk/student-finance-forms <http://www.gov.uk/student-finance-forms>
 
Continuing students applying to student finance for the first time can apply for a Fee Grant and Course Grant now by downloading a PTGN form from: www.gov.uk/studentfinance <http://www.gov.uk/studentfinance>  
 
Students who have a disability, long-term health condition, mental health condition or a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia or dyspraxia can get extra help through Disabled Students’ Allowances.  More information is available at: www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsas <http://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsas>
 
Continuing part-time Open University (OU) students should apply for funding from the OU directly and can contact them for further information by e-mailing financial-support@open.ac.uk or by phoning 01908 653 411.
