Notification of grants to institutions

Full details of the changes made for July 2010 are available.
March 2010
In March each year institutions receive a set of individualised grant tables along with a grant letter and technical guidance which give a comprehensive explanation of the contents of the tables.
Student number control
In 2009-10, in response to a request from Government, we introduced a limit on full-time undergraduate and postgraduate Professional Graduate Certificate in Education entrants. Its purpose has been to reduce the risk of over-recruitment that might lead to a transfer of HEFCE grant back to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to meet consequent unanticipated student support costs. We are changing the way we specify the limit for 2010-11 to make it easier for institutions to monitor against their offers of places to prospective students for the coming academic year and to restrict the control to a smaller population – those fundable by HEFCE. We wrote to institutions in February to provide full details of the control and provide a provisional limit.
Note on available documents
The recurrent grant tables differ slightly for higher education institutions and further education colleges but the grant tables given below are for the sector as a whole.
The teaching funding templates form a subset of these tables and contain extra sheets that institutions can use to model outcomes of different patterns of student recruitment (including potential indicative grant adjustments).
Queries from institutions should be addressed to the HEFCE higher education policy adviser for their institution. Contact details are available in our searchable staff list.
