Notes

A StudentFinancialSupport entity must be returned for all awards of the financial support types listed in StudentFinancialSupport.FINSUPTYPE.

The StudentFinancialSupport entity is associated with the StudentCourseSession in which the student received the financial support.

StudentCourseSessions can be associated with more than one StudentFinancialSupport. For example, a student in receipt of Disabled Students Allowance may also be in receipt of book vouchers.

If the Student has more than one award of the same type, then only one StudentFinancialSupport entity needs to be returned.

Applicable to English providers:

Where a FINSUPTYPE is part of the commitments detailed in the provider’s Access and Participation Plan (APP) APPSPEND should be used to flag this.

1.0.01.0To reduce the burden on providers guidance has been added so that, if some part of a FINSUPTYPE supports an APP commitment, APPSPEND should be returned. Providers do not have to apportion an individual FINSUPTYPE between that which is contributing to an APP commitment and that that is not.
