If you are eligible to receive a Special Support Grant you will not be eligible to receive a Maintenance Grant.
This grant pays up to £2906.00, depending on your household income,
and is intended to help with additional course related costs such as
books, equipment, travel or childcare. The Special Support Grant
entitlement is calculated using the same household income figures as the
Maintenance Grant. However, unlike the maintenance grant, the amount
you receive will not affect the amount of Maintenance Loan you may be
entitled to receive.
You may be able to receive a Special Support Grant if you:
are a lone parent;
have a partner who is also a student and one or both of you is
responsible for a child (or a young person aged under 20 who is in
full-time education below higher education level);
have a disability, and qualify for the disability premium or severe disability premium;
are deaf and qualify for Disabled Students' Allowances;
have been treated as incapable of work for a continuous period of at least 28 weeks;
are from abroad and are entitled to an Income Support Urgent Cases
Payment because you are temporarily without funds for a period of up to
six weeks;
are waiting to go back to a course having taken agreed time out from
that course due to an illness or caring responsibility that has now
ended;
are aged 60 or over.
Do you want to apply for Disabled Student's Allowance?
These allowances can help pay for the extra course-related costs you
may have as a result of your disability or specific learning difficulty,
such as special equipment, a non-medical helper, or special travel
arrangements.
