Financial support for students in Wales
Maintenance grants of up to £4,500
1 are now available. The money you receive isn’t a loan – you won’t need to pay it back.
The amount you receive is based on your annual household income, and how many credits you are planning to study during the year. For example, if your household income is £25,000 or below and you plan to study 90 credits or more during the year you could receive £4,500
1.
You can also apply for a top-up loan to make up the difference, up to a maximum value of £4,683. Find out more about
working out your entitlement.
With tuition fee loans to cover the cost of your course also available, study has never been so affordable. Find out more about
