# The Education (Student Support) (European University Institute) Regulations 2010 (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Student Support) (European University Institute) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/447) (the “2010 Regulations”). The 2010 Regulations provide support for eligible students taking designated higher education courses at the European University Institute in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1st September 2010. The amended Regulations will apply to such courses beginning on or after 1st September 2011.
Regulation 4(a) and (b) removes the definition of “person with leave to enter or remain” in the 2010 Regulations and inserts a new definition referring to a “person granted humanitarian protection”. The new definition creates a narrower class of eligible person, by including only people who have been granted humanitarian protection, their spouses and children. The previous category also included certain people granted discretionary leave to remain and their spouses and children.
The effect of the changes to the definition of person with leave to enter or remain and the related amendments is that people (and their family members) who would have fallen within the category of “person with leave to enter or remain” but who do not fall within the new category of people granted humanitarian protection will not be eligible for support.
Regulation 4(c) provides that the “relevant date” is 1st February 2011.
Regulations 5 and 6(b) amend the deadline for applications and the deadline for receipt of financial information, in relation to the academic year beginning on or after 1st September 2011.
Regulation 7(a) amends the definition of “family member” in Schedule 1 to the 2010 Regulations. This amendment replaces the reference to “child” with one that refers to direct descendants of the person or of the person’s spouse or civil partner who are under the age of 21 or dependants of the person or the person’s spouse or civil partner.
Regulation 7(b) makes changes to the definition of “parent” in Schedule 1 to the 2010 Regulations to remove the reference to “any person having care of a child”.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or the public sector. The impact on the public sector is minimal.
