Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows if you can get the Higher Education Maintenance Grant if you are doing a degree through distance learning, instead of campus based??

(It will be require 15-20hours of study per week so a partime degree)

Ive looked and seen that i can get the 'Tutition fee' grant and the 'Course fee' grant,
but does anyone know about if you can get this Education Maintenance one for partime/distance learning degrees??



Thanks

As I told you on your other thread, the Maintenance Grant is for full time study only.
