A person in receipt of the One-Parent Family Payment may be entitled to a student maintenance grant provided they meet the terms and conditions of the relevant student grant scheme. The decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter, in the first instance, for the relevant assessing authority, i.e. the applicant's local authority or VEC.
