The decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter for the relevant grant awarding authority. However, I understand that a decision has issued from the grant awarding authority and that the student has appealed this decision to the grant awarding authority's appeals officer. A decision on the appeal will issue in due course.

If the student is not satisfied with the appeals officer's decision, he may appeal this to the Department or the independent Appeals Board as appropriate to his circumstances.
