Starting a course is a change of circumstance and you should inform all relevant benefit offices when you enrol.
20. A complaint is normally a specific concern related to a procedural error, irregularity, or maladministration in admissions procedures or policies. If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the administration of your scholarship, please contact us in the first instance so that an informal resolution can be sought.
