All The Welsh Funding that is Available

Reading Time: 5 mins

All our readers across Wales (and the Welsh people living elsewhere of course), will today be donning their traditional dress, eating Welsh Cakes and Cawl and celebrating all that it is to be Welsh. Why? Because it’s St David’s Day!

In honour of all of our beautiful countrymen we have done a round up of all the grants and funding, only available to Welsh people. Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus.

 

EDUCATION

welsh funding - education

University fees

There are alot of schemes in place to make studying in Wales affordable for Welsh people.

Undergraduates from Wales have a generous package of student living cost support. For 2023, maintenance support has increased by 9.4% – in line with the National Living Wage. When you begin to repay your student loan, you can get up to £1,500 knocked off your debt.

To find out more click here.

Pupil Development Grant

School children from lower-income families who are eligible for free school meals in Wales are eligible for this grant. You could receive a grant of £225 per learner, and £300 for those entering Year 7. This is due to the costs associated with starting secondary school, such as new uniform costs.

All compulsory school years are now eligible for this grant. This means families who qualify for certain benefits can submit a claim if they have a child in primary school from reception to Year 6, or secondary school, in Year 7 to Year 11.

All looked after children qualify for the grant, whether they receive free school meals or not. Pupils who receive free school meals due to transitional protection arrangements do not qualify for this funding.

Families are only entitled to claim once per child, per school year. The 2022 to 2023 scheme is now open and will close on 30 June 2023.

This is to help pay for emergency household costs, however you will be required to pay this back through deductions on your regular UC payments.

You will also be able to receive support from food banks, and emergency top-ups from your energy supplier should you not be able to pay for energy. However, any emergency top ups will need to be paid back through your meter.

If you’re successful in your application, Welsh Water will set up a monthly, fortnightly or weekly payment plan for your current year’s charges. Once you have made payments for 6 months, they could pay off 50% of your previous arrears! If you make payments for a further 6 months, they will then pay off the rest of your previous arrears.

adapting your home

If you are an older person or have a disability, you may be eligible for the ENABLE scheme, which gives support to those living independently. You can receive small, medium and large adaptations to your home, depending on your level of need.

Small adaptations include small ramps, stair rails and accessible taps. Medium adaptations may be those such as walk-in showers or chair lifts. If you need a building extension or moving bathroom or kitchen, this would count as a large adaptation.
