Main points
In total, 4,495 students in further education (FE) applied for a Welsh Government Learning Grant (WGLG) in 2020/21, a decrease of 15% on 2019/20. Of these 3,725 applications were successful, a decrease of 16% on 2019/20. This resulted in £4.2 million being paid out in WGLGs to FE students in 2020/21, compared to the £4.9 million that was paid out in 2019/20. 3,500 (94%) of successful applications were from full-time students and 210 (6%) of successful applications were from part-time students.
The proportion of successful applications from full-time students remains high at around 97%, with the corresponding figure for part-time students at 85%. 2,570 (74%) of successful full-time applications and 150 (70%) of successful part-time applications were from students with a residual income of £6,120 or less, and were therefore awarded the full grant amounts. 1,480 (54%) of successful full-time applications and 50 (39%) of successful part-time applications were from students aged 21 or under.
