Regulation 130 Applications for supportI1
Northern Ireland
A person (the “applicant”) must apply for a grant under this Part in connection with each academic year of a designated postgraduate course by completing and submitting to the Department an application in such form and accompanied by such documentation as the Department may require.
The application must reach the Department as soon as is reasonably practicable.
The Department may take such steps and make such inquiries as it considers necessary to determine whether the applicant is an eligible postgraduate student, whether he qualifies for a grant and the amount of grant payable, if any.
The Department must notify the applicant—
whether he qualifies for a grant;
if he does qualify, the amount payable in respect of the academic year, if any; and
how that amount is allocated between the types of eligible expenditure.
