Do you qualify?

To apply for the Fee Grant and Course Grant, both you and your course must be 'eligible'. For part-time study, this means your course must:

* last at least one year <<< the access course is 1 year !

* be a higher education course leading to a qualification such as a Certificate or Diploma of Higher Education, an HNC or HND, or a first degree up to Honours level (for example, a BA or BSc) << <<<<after the access We can apply for a degree so it lead to higher education ?

SO ?

Answer 1

Alas an access course is not higher education - it is equivalent to A&#039; Level Standard and comes in as further not higher ed.

Answer 2

Without knowing the details of the course you have applied for, it is impossible to give you an answer.

Answer 3

An access course is NOT an HE course.

&quot;after the access We can apply for a degree so it lead to higher education ?&quot; if that was the case it would apply to A level courses, GCSE&#039;s and even SATS. They all eventually lead to an HE course.
