Daphne Caine says changes will be brought forward in the autumn
The education minister says work is ongoing to find the 'fairest, best system' for supporting students in higher education.
A report from a Tynwald committee looking into student awards recently called for a review into the financial support available for those looking to enrol in distance learning or courses at the University College Isle of Man.
Daphne Caine has confirmed she'll be bringing forward revised student awards in the autumn.
She told Manx Radio change is needed:

Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
