Maintenance Grant for Full-time Undergraduate Students

The Maintenance Grant is a non-repayable grant designed to help full-time undergraduate students in Northern Ireland with their day-to-day living costs while studying. The grant is available to students whose household income is below £41,065 and is paid directly to the student. It can be applied for alongside other available student finance, including a Maintenance Loan, as part of the annual student finance application process. The grant does not need to be repaid unless there is a reassessment of household income or the student leaves their course early, which may result in an overpayment. This funding is specifically for students from Northern Ireland attending higher education institutions and is administered through Student Finance Northern Ireland.
