Amharc ar fhreagraAn appeal was received from the student concerned on 30 December 2011.
The appeal is appropriate to the independent Student Grant Appeals Board and a decision will issue from the Board as soon as possible but within the timeframe set out in the Student Support Act 2011, which is 60 days from the making of the appeal. All aspects of the grant application will be considered by the Board.
