Single Parents's Benefit

As from January 2017, single parents who are also following their studies on full-time basis at Post-Secondary, Vocational and Tertiary level of education, must apply for Supplementary Allowances using the online application. When applying for Supplementary Allowances, single parents’ students would also be applying automatically for the Single Parents’ Benefit.

Students wishing to communicate with the Students' Maintenance Grants’ Office regarding this benefit may send an email using the online application itself, using the contact us button. All emails are directed to the attention of the Students’ Maintenance Grants’ Board.

The Single Parents’ Grants are credited in a staggered process. The additional annual grant as established by the Subsidiary Legislation 605.6 is given as one lump sum to eligible students in the Second Semester.

The Students’ Maintenance Grants’ Board reserves the right to verify the information submitted and request additional information and/or documentation if necessary.
