The tuition fees of eligible first time undergraduate students are automatically paid by the Department of Education and Science. There are a number of student grant schemes to help eligible students with costs such maintenance, registration and exam fees, and student services.
Grants are awarded depending on nationality, ordinary residence, family income,
the number of dependent children in a family, and the distance of the family home from the college the student will be attending. The reckonable family income limits may be extended slightly if two or more children (or if the candidate's parents) are attending an approved course of study. A grant recipient may be entitled to full maintenance (100pc), or one of three rates of part maintenance (75pc, 50pc, or 25pc), depending on family income and the number of dependent children in the family. The rates of maintenance applicable in 2008/2009 will apply up to the end of 2009, and increases will be considered in light of the budget. There are two separate rates of maintenance, the "adjacent" rate and the "non-adjacent" rate. The adjacent rate applies to a grant holder whose normal residence is 15 miles or less from the college which he or she is attending. The non-adjacent rate is usually payable in all other cases. The principle is that if you live near enough to college to live at home, you get less money for maintenance. While the maintenance grants have not been extended this year (2009/10), the income limits have been extended this year at the top and the bottom ends of the scale; in other words, more families are likely to be eligible for the award of some portion of a grant.
