We live in Wales and DS has just had his place confirmed at an English uni. He is the first in our family to ever go to uni, so we are all learning as we go and finding the funding side of things a bit confusing. Also what with the changes to the welsh fundng (I believe its means tested for this year and onwards) finding someone in the know is proving hard.
A while back I sent off all the student finance info and have recently received a breakdown of his grants/loans.
His Student finance email is broken down as follows:
£4296 - Fee Loan
£ 4954 - Fee Grant
Maintenance Loan £ x amount
Welsh Government Grant: £900
Can anyone explain what/where the fee grant (£4954) has come from? Is this a welsh grant? If so why is there the £900 Welsh Government Grant?
I'm just trying to understand it all as I am just confused at the moment. DS is not able to explain it either but less concerned - he assumes its the welsh element, but I think its important he fully understands exactly what comes from where etc.
