1、
What is the fee grant and who is eligible?
The fee grant (or fee waiver/ ILA Scotland account in Scotland) is a non-repayable grant to help support students with course fees. How much you receive will depend on where you live, your study intensity and your financial circumstances.
To be eligible you'll need to meet certain conditions for residence.
You will qualify if you are receiving certain benefits, or your income is within the thresholds set
2、
Can I get Financial support towards the costs associated with Study?
Financial support is available to help towards you course fees and other study related costs.
The financial support available to you depends on your income, whether you are in receipt of certain benefits, your family circumstances, and where you live. For courses of less than 30 credit points, financial support is awarded if you are in receipt of certain benefits.

When you reserve a place on a course, let us know if you want to apply for financial support and we will send you an application form.
Financial support is not usually available if you already have a degree, or for postgraduate courses, although you may be eligible for a Career Development Loan or an award from the Crowther Fund. For more information go to postgraduate financial support.
3、
What are the entry requirements if I wish to study an undergraduate course?
For most courses, there are no formal entry requirements, although if you have not studied before you may find it helpful to do some preparatory work before starting undergraduate study, in order to develop a suitable level of study skills. You can do this independently or working with a tutor on one of our Openings courses.
A few courses have entry requirements, for example some courses are for people who are working in specific jobs, and some courses are only for postgraduates.
To find out if the course you are interested in has specific entry requirements, look at the course description on the Courses and Qualifications website, under 'Entry'.
We strongly recommend that students new to Higher Education, Open University study or to a particular subject area start at Level 1.
