The decision on eligibility for a grant is a matter for a student's local grant awarding body – the relevant Local Authority or VEC. The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form, including those relating to age, residence, means, nationality and previous academic attainment, it would not be possible for me to say whether or not a student would qualify for a grant.

The student in question should, therefore, apply his local grant awarding authority to have his eligibility for a grant assessed.
