Has anyone received an OU grant yet.

Just wondering if anyone else is waiting for the grant to be paid. My course started at the end of January.

    I think I'll have to chase it up, cos I've been given various amounts to expect and not sure whether I'll get the course grant plus a parents learning allowance or just one or the other?

    Any of you much about these things?

    Apparently mine was processed yesterday and it will be in the bank within the next 3 working days. It took less then 3 weeks and the course started at the beginning of February.

  • Thanks for the replies folks, I got my money after all. Apparently there was a problem paying some welsh recipients of grants.

    Mine is now sitting in my vantage account, earning 4% :)
