OU Computer Grant

[auntysocial]

I recieved a letter this morning telling me that I am eligable for a "computer grant" which will give me £250 towards the cost of a new PC as well as £250 study grant which I can also use for a PC meaning I could go into a computer shop and buy a new PC with grants from the OU...

Have I got this wrong somewhere? it seems very "generous" of them...

Wow.
There doesn't seem a lot extra to say really, just wow.

Yes it exists. If you are entitled to your course fees paid, you are entitled to a grant..(£250 per year).. if you are entitled to a grant you are entitled to use it, plus another £250 to buy a new pc (you have to send the OU the receipt). And furthermore, you will also be entitled to claim for help with the cost of your internet connection.

I have a new PC courtesy of the OU; they are great!
