Grant Application Documentation

The Saint

Hey Folks,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. If so could a mod move it. Cheers.

I'm currently putting my documentation together for my grant application. I've checked the student finance website and went to the documentation page here.

It has lads of stuff there, much of it irrelevant to me so I'm not exactly sure what I need to send. I'd prefer to get it done right first time so avoid problems.

OK, so here's my situation:
I'm am over 23 and living independently for the last 10 years, I've been working full time for the last 10 years, I have no pension, I do not and have not not recieve social welfare, I am not self employed, I do not own property, I'm not married and have no children, not sure what disposable assets are.


The documentation I have so far is:
P60 for 2007
P21 for 2007
Long form birth cert

I know I need a proof of address for Oct 2007 which I'm working on getting.

So can anyone please tell me what other documentation I require to sent with my application? Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers....

What you'll need will depend on what the Council/VEC ask - I mean they could ask for additional proof if they wish. But the general information you'll need is below:

You should do yourself a favour and before you send stuff in, give the Council/VEC a ring to check that's all you need to submit. Otherwise they would just send it back to you.
