I want to do the postgraduate diploma in primary education and would need a grant to help as the fees are so high cost of living etc.

I should qualify for a grant however because I previously obtained a Masters 5 years ago I have heard I cannot get a grant as this would not be seen as 'progression'.

Is this correct? Is there anyway I can get a grant?

Any advice would be really appreciated!:)
