This document is used to determine eligibility where a student enrolled on a course of higher education before 2006/07, and is already in receipt of an ALG and remains
eligible until such time as the student completes that particular programme of study.

This document also sets out the criteria which must be applied in assessing the eligibility of students to receive an ALG and the varying levels of grant that can be awarded.

This document sets out the methodology for calculating the payments, which apply under the ALG Scheme for the academic year 2006/2007, including the levels of assessable income that must be used when carrying out any calculation.

This document also records in Annex 2 the partnership protocol setting out arrangements between FHEIs and LAs for the administration of the scheme. It is not part of the Scheme itself.
