Students studying for a Degree level qualification part-time
The total help available through the Fee Grant and Course Grant for part-time and distance learning higher education courses in England depends on how ‘intensive’ your course is, your household income and personal circumstances.
Do you qualify for the Fee Grant and Course Grant?)
To apply for the Fee Grant and Course Grant, both you and your course must meet certain conditions.
Your part-time course must:
- Last at least one year
- Lead to a higher education qualification
- Not take more than twice as long to complete as the equivalent full-time course
However, you won't qualify for the Fee Grant or Course Grant:
- If you are studying a part-time Initial Teacher Training course that started in 2009/10 or earlier (you’ll be treated as a full-time student for student finance purposes)
- For more than one part-time course at a time
You'll also need to meet the usual eligibility conditions for student finance - see 'Eligibility for student finance' if you're not sure.
Visit www.direct.gov.uk for more information on grants for part-time learners.
