Regulation 16 Applications for supportI1

A person (referred to in this Part as “the applicant”) must apply for support in relation to each course year of a designated course, by completing and submitting to the Secretary of State an application in such form and accompanied by such documentation as the Secretary of State may require.

Where an applicant is applying for support in relation to more than one course in the same service year, the applicant may submit a single application in respect of support for multiple courses.

An applicant must apply for support in relation to each course year of each designated course for which support is required.

The Secretary of State may take such steps and make such inquiries as the Secretary of State considers necessary to determine, in relation to each course or each course year for which the applicant applies for support—

The Secretary of State must notify the applicant of whether the applicant qualifies for support and, if so, the amount of support payable in respect of each course year to which their application for support relates.
