Question
Will the Welsh Government confirm that it will not end student grants to Welsh students who study outside of Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education (Cefin Campbell)
The Welsh Government has not taken any decision to end student grants for Welsh students who study outside Wales.
We provide a generous maintenance support package for Welsh full-time undergraduates, whether they study in Wales or elsewhere in the UK. Welsh students can continue to access support to study at the institution that best meets their needs.
The Welsh Government has committed to a comprehensive review of higher education funding. The review will be wide-ranging and will consider how students are supported to access and succeed in higher education in Wales. Further details will be set out in the terms of reference for the review. Any future changes to student support policy will be considered in light of the review’s findings.
