The information is not collated in the specific format requested by the Deputy. However, the number of grant recipients categorised by PLC, undergraduate and postgraduate for the academic years 2011/12 to 2017/18 is attached. The data encompasses students in receipt of a SUSI grant and grants from the other 66 awarding authorities who have continued to process renewal applications on a transitionary basis, pending the full transfer of all grants to SUSI.
