quick question on grants

jaimai_2

Just wanted to know, my daughter is due to go to university this year and will get the grant, does this continue for all three years or does it change next year to a loan? Thanks.

Providing she remains eligible based on household income the maintenance grant will still be available to her as she is a continuing student. The changes (increased loan/no grant) only apply to new students starting courses in 2016.

Thanks very much. I could not find any information on it, so you have put my mind at ease .
