EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

These regulations, which come into force on 3rd March 1999 are the second regulations made under section 22 of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998. They provide for grants for fees, loans for maintenance and supplementary grants for maintenance for eligible students in connection with their attendance on designated higher education courses in an academic year beginning on or after 1st September 1999. They are the first regulations under the 1998 Act to draw together provision for grants and loans, both of which are now in part means tested. They apply to students who began their courses in September 1998 or later. Students who began their courses before then, and certain students who began their courses after then, remain subject to the previous system of mandatory awards for fees and maintenance, and mortgage style loans for maintenance.
