    Youll need all the documents for your parents jobs as well.

    ^^ is an interpretation of the grant scheme, check with the local authority as to what is exactly required. If you're applying as an 'other than mature student' (which I assume you are), then a) is a good starting point.

    You'll receive an offer from the CAO of a place in a college on Monday Week, which'll be the first round offers. If you don't get it, and you wait 'til the second round contact the Council. Some Councils allow you to submit everything else and leave this one piece of information 'til later on, but it varies.

    the statement of results is not necessary but you need proof of your offer acceptance...but it is possible to send in everything else before the offers are released and then they will just process it with regard to eligibility

    Use form FA.1. You should have got it with your grant form.

    see page 15 in the cao handbook where it says formal notification will be sent in the post within 3 working days..i think this is what you forward to grant office

    Was told by the the Council that they were accepting grant applications after the deadline of 31 August because of the backlog of people trying to sort out documentation. They didn't say how long the grace period would be but it's better than nothing.

    Ah, good to hear.

    Don't forget that your Council appoints elected members of the council onto the committee of the VEC. If something does go awry with your application be sure to contact them and they will be in a position to pull some strings in the name of helping a constituent :)
