# The Education (Student Support) (College of Europe) Regulations 2010, Paragraph 2: Household income

Extent: E+W

(1) The amount of a student’s contribution depends on the household income.
(2) The household income is—
(a) in the case of a student who is not an independent eligible student, the residual income of the eligible student aggregated with the residual income of the student’s parents (subject to paragraph 4(8)) and the residual income of the partner of the student’s parent (provided that the Secretary of State has selected that parent under paragraph 4(8));
(b) in the case of an independent eligible student who has a partner, the residual income of the student aggregated with the residual income of that student’s partner (subject to sub-paragraph (4)); or
(c) in the case of an independent eligible student who does not have a partner, the residual income of that student.
(3) In determining the household income under sub-paragraph (2), there is deducted the sum of £1,130—
(a) for each child wholly or mainly dependant on the student or the student’s partner; or
(b) for each child (other than the student) wholly or mainly financially dependent on the student’s parent or the student’s parent’s partner whose residual income is being taken into account.
(4) For the purposes of calculating the contribution payable in respect of a parent student, the residual income of the parent student’s partner shall not be aggregated under sub-paragraph (2)(b) in the case of a parent student whose child or whose partner’s child holds an award in respect of which the household income is calculated with reference to the residual income of the parent student or of the parent student’s partner or of both.
