The decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter for the relevant grant awarding authority. The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation it would not be possible for me to say whether or not a student would qualify for a grant. The student in question should apply directly to her local grant awarding to have her eligibility for a student grant assessed.
