Eligible part time students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan as well as a Maintenance Loan to help with their living costs. They can also get a Welsh Government Learning Grant (WGLG) which doesn't need to be paid back.
Derek Ross, SLC Executive Director of Operations said: "We are delighted to announce that part-time students in Wales can apply for their student funding. The easiest way to apply is online and as always, the message is to apply now to ensure funding is in place before the start of term. You can apply even if you don't have a confirmed place at university."
