    Hi all, I thought it might be interesting to see what percentage of people out there going to college actually qualify for a grant and within that percentage what number of the varying grant levels are awarded on average.

    I've only recently applied for my grant so having had any word back, I'm hoping however *fingers crossed* that I'll get the full grant along with the special top-up.

    im currently filling out my application.
    ive applied for BTEA, so im not holding my breath on the grant, but my local facilitator said i should be entitled to it since im moving 6 hours drive away from home, im mature student (25) living independant from parents for 5 years, and broke as a skunk.

    Nothing. Dependent mature (25, living at home) doing a masters, parents earn too much for me to get a grant. :(
