What you'll get

The amount you get depends on your total household income. This means your income, if you have one, combined with that of your parents or guardians, or spouse or partner if you live with them. Do not count income from other family members you live with.

You must pay the 铿乺st 拢303 of your travel costs - and your travel grant will be reduced by 拢1 for each 拢8.73 of household income over 拢39,796.

Keep your travel costs as low as possible without being impractical.
