The Adult Learning Grant is a government initiative which is now being phased out.

Only learners continuing on the same learning programme at the same level will be eligible to receive weekly ALG payments in 2011/12 academic year. E.g. an individual who started on a Level 3 learning programme in 2010/11 and who is continuing on the same Level 3 learning programme in 2011/12. The learning programme must be undertaken at the same learning provider the individual was enrolled with in the previous academic year unless there are genuine exceptional circumstances which prevent this.

Learners who receive ALG in 2010/11 but who are starting a new learning programme in 2011/12 will NOT be eligible for ALG.
