Postgraduate grants
Any research council or other maintenance grant and dependants’ allowances are taken into account. Supplementary grants are treated in the same way as those for undergraduates (see
here). Ignore:
•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.
