Confused. Grant?

    Okay so I'm confused.

    I understand that the non-adjacent grant has been increased from 24km to 48km.

    Last year I claimed a non-adjacent grant. This year, I shall be claiming an adjacent grant. And I know. That sucks.

    But how do I find out how much I'm actually getting this year compared to last year?

    Maybe I'm just not educated enough on this new system, of sorts.

    Please can someone direct me to, or be kind enough to inform me, on the 2011 student grant scheme.

    Appreciate it folks. :)

    Need more info than that like what they earn and how far away you live from college but assuming that both your parents are highly experienced probably not(This is only a guess)

    again their earning are needed to calculate it accurately
