Along with your main Student Finance grant, you may be eligible for additional funding if you are a parent or have dependents.

Some of the grants you may be able to apply for are:

Parents Learning Allowance (PLA)

How much you can get depends on your household income, which is your income and the income of your partner and any dependants.

Childcare Grant (CCG)

If you or your partner gets the childcare element of Working Tax Credit or Universal Credit, or Tax-Free Childcare from HM Revenue & Customs, you won't be able to get a Childcare Grant at the same time.

Adult Dependents' Grant (ADG)

You can apply for an Adult Dependants' Grant if you have a partner or another adult who depends on you financially. How much you can get depends on your household income.
