Whether a student qualifies is based on annual household income as follows:

Tier 1 – under £30,000

How much could I get?

Tier 1 – £12.50 (weekly)

The money is paid directly into the student’s bank account every Friday.

What can I spend it on?

You decide! You need to consider budgeting for lunch, travel and any essential needs.
