1. Higher Education Grant
In 2004/05 the Higher Education Grant (HE Grant) was introduced for new entrants into full-time study in England and Wales to help cover the costs of participating in HE.
The introduction of this HE Grant meant that all but 拢500 of the 鈥榦ld鈥� ALG introduced by the Welsh Government in 2002/03 became fully covered by statutory support. The remaining 拢500 continued to be available as an ALG 鈥榯op-up鈥�.
