Grants awarded to English applicants by their household income for the academic years
2012/13, 2013/14, and 2014/15 has been provided in the table.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Maintenance

</p><p>Source: Student Loans Company</p><p>Notes:</p><p>(1) Figures include Special
Support Grants, which are payable in place of Maintenance Grants to vulnerable students
who may otherwise have their DWP benefits reduced.</p><p>(2) Awards do not necessarily
translate into payments. An awarded applicant will only receive payments once SLC
have received confirmation from the student’s provider at the start of the academic
year that the student has been registered on the course.</p><p>(3) The data are effective
at November following each academic year. Figures for the academic year 2014/15 are
provisional, as they are effective at November at the beginning of the academic year,
and so will not include applicants who were awarded Maintenance Grants after November
2014. Complete figures for the academic year 2014/15 will be available from November
2015.</p><p>(4) Applicants awarded a partial grant, and whose household income is
less than £25,000, are typically those who have suspended study for part of the year.</p>
