    ....or do you have to reapply at the start of each new year?

    Are you eligible to apply for each year of a degree?

    yeah you gotta re apply each yr.. and you'll continue to get a grant once you meet all the conditions etc. if conditions change between one year and another, you could also be entitled to a top up meaning you might get more money that a previous yr.. it can also go the other way and it depends upon parents income, Dependant kids and savings etc....

    Depends on your previous courses etc, if u failed year 1 of another course you wont get the grant in the first year of the new one, but you will in second year.

    That was my case anyway. I also got the grant in 3rd + 4th year.

    I dropped into the VEC the other day, but left more confused!

    I did 2 PLCs before, but I left before Xmas both times

    Next course will be a Higher Cert / Degree in an IT
