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 £500 of the ‘old’ ALG introduced by the Welsh Government in 2002/03 became fully covered by statutory support. The remaining £500 continued to be available as an ALG ‘top-up’.
