The Welsh Government has announced an increase in student maintenance support by 9.4% for 2023-2024 academic year.
The Welsh Government continues to provide the UK’s most progressive student finance system. The Welsh Government’s increase compares to the UK Government only increasing support by 2.8% for students in England. Welsh undergraduate students also have less to repay on average than their English peers as they can access generous living costs package of grants and loans (https://bit.ly/3H2zi4y).
The average full-time Welsh student can claim £10,710 in maintenance grants and loans, which will rise to £11,720 thanks to this increase.
The student maintenance support applies to full-time and part-time higher education students from Wales. The highest level of grant support is given to those students most in need. A substantial part-time student support package is available, giving students from all backgrounds a chance to study part-time.
