Students’ Maintenance Grants include the yearly grant, stipends, the one-time grant (where applicable), a supplementary grant (where applicable), supplementary allowance (where applicable), single parents’ grant (where applicable), and Top-Up Stipends (where applicable).

Stipends are paid periodically in backdated four-weekly payments.  Students applying for the Students’ Maintenance Grants before the end of December 2024 shall receive their first stipend backdated from the beginning of the academic year, subject to confirmation by the respective educational institution and after students confirm their online application if found eligible.

Lists of Prescribed and High Priority courses are published on the Students’ Maintenance Grants’ website Classification of Courses – Academic Year 2024 – 2025
