    Thinking about going back to college next year if i have the money, that is. The grant info is all to confusing to understand. I have been to college already and did a diploma course for 3 years.
    I was thinking of doing a degree course next year. Would i be entitled to a grant as a mature applicant?

    Hi LisaJane,

    If you were 23 in January you can apply as a mature student but (I'm not completely sure of the exact details here) you won't get a full grant because you already did a course.

    Otherwise you need to wait 5 years between the diploma finished and a new one.

    I found the easiest was putting my details by email and just emailing the lads at your local authority to get an exact answer cause it is quite complicated otherwise!.

    Good luck!
