Our daughter has received a grant this year as she starts in college.

All the forms were completed based upon income from 2009.

I am wondering, do I have to complete these forms every year in order to apply for the grant. Doing a level 7 degree , and grant funded through the local VEC.

Thanks
 
Yes, but you'll only need to complete the form, not re-submit all the supporting documentation.
 
Thanks for that., does that mean then they need all the finincal details for that particular year then.Is it the same big form to be completed
 
The large form is filled in at the initial application stage and the financial details concern the previous financial year.
Each year after that you'll be sent a one page letter/form in which you simply confirm that your daughter is registered at college. That's what I had to do anyway for UCC and I suspect it's a similar procedure for other institutions.

I had to attach proof of exam results too. There's no grant if she fails a year.
 
What if your financial status changes , say you are now only entitled to say a half grant for the second year as oppossed to a full grant you might have received the first year.How is this captured by the VEC, or is it up to you to inform them.Just wondering because offered a small bit of work but worried the effect this would have on our ability to get full grant.Thanks
