Mature student government grant

Looking to obtain info regarding eligibility for a government grant for mature students. First time attending college and come from an underprivileged background, does this stand for much when applying?

Also I am not sure what you mean by "underprivileged" but in some instances local partnership companies can give extra grants

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
