The special support grant from Bishop Grosseteste University is awarded after an income assessment is done to determine eligible full-time students who should receive the award. The amount received is non-repayable and has the same value as the Maintenance Grant.
To be eligible for the grant, students must undergo a means-tested benefits assessment with the aim of determining their financial status. Applicants should also be either a refugee, disabled, a lone parent, or a parent who is also a full-time student.
