Hardship loans
20.—(1) An eligible student who has applied for the maximum amount of loan in respect of an academic year which has been notified to him and received at least one instalment of that loan may apply to the Secretary of State for a determination that he is eligible for an additional loan on grounds of hardship, which shall be known as a “hardship loan”.
(2) A hardship loan shall be not less than £100 and not more than £250, and shall be a multiple of £25.
(3) An eligible student shall demonstrate his eligibility for a hardship loan by providing such evidence of his requirements and resources as the Secretary of State may require.
(4) On being satisfied that due to exceptional financial hardship the student may not be able to continue to attend his course for the remaining part of the academic year the Secretary of State shall determine the amount of hardship loan which he considers the student requires, and the student shall be eligible for hardship loan in that amount.
(5) An eligible student who is eligible for a hardship loan shall apply for a loan not greater than the amount referred to in paragraph (4) by completing and submitting to the Secretary of State an application in such form as he may require not later than one month after the date he receives notice of the determination under paragraph (4) and one month before the end of the academic year.
