England and Wales

(1)

Table 5 sets out the maximum amounts of maintenance grant available to an eligible student undertaking a part-time course (a “part-time student”) where—

(a)

Column 1 specifies the academic year in relation to which the amounts of maintenance grant specified in Column 2 are payable;

(b)

Column 2 specifies the maximum amount of grant available in respect of the corresponding academic year in Column 1.

(2)

If—

(a)

a part-time student's household income does not exceed £25,000, or

(b)

the student is a care leaver,

the amount of maintenance grant payable to the student is the maximum amount available multiplied by the intensity of study of the present course.

(3)

Where the part-time student's household income exceeds £25,000 but is less than £59,200, the amount of maintenance grant payable is calculated as follows— Step 1 Reduce the maximum amount of maintenance grant available by £1 for every F1£6.71 of household income exceeding £25,000. Step 2 Multiply the result of Step 1 by the intensity of study of the present course. The result is the amount of maintenance grant payable.

(4)

Where the part-time student's household income F2is £59,200 or more, the amount of maintenance grant payable is £0.
