New entrants in academic year 2006/07 were eligible for the new Assembly Learning Grant (ALG) which is a non-repayable grant of up to 拢2,700 (拢2,906 if continuing in 2011/12 after entering between 2006/07 and 2009/10) dependent on household income.
These entrants received no Fee Remission Grant and were subject to fee charges of 拢1,200 if they attended a HEI in Wales which could be deferred through taking out a loan. Students attending a HEI outside Wales could be subject immediately to a variable fee of up to 拢3,000 (拢3,375 in 2011/12). Welsh institutions were able to charge variable tuition fees of up to 拢3,070 in 2007/08 (拢3,375 in 2011/12). Students domiciled in Wales studying in Wales were able to receive a non means-tested grant of 拢1,890 (拢2,030 in 2011/12, but no longer available to new entrants from 2010/11) towards their tuition fee.
New entrants continued to be eligible for a Maintenance Loan, which remained largely unchanged, although receipt of an ALG affects the overall loan available.
