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 should qualify for a maintenance grant.
Officials in my Department have been in contact with SUSI which has confirmed that an application was received from this student on 13 June 2012. The student will be notified directly of the outcome in due course.
