Postgraduate grants
Postgraduate maintenance grants and dependants’ grants awarded by Student Finance Wales, a research council, or for postgraduate social work students, are taken into account in the same way as for undergraduates (see
here). The following are disregarded
:•disabled students’ allowance;
•grants for tuition fees;
•grants for residential study away from your normal home;
•grants intended to meet the costs of books and equipment.
The new postgraduate bursaries in Wales (see
here) are intended for course costs. Make sure your university makes it clear what the bursary is paid for in any documentation, otherwise it may be taken into account as income.
