2023-24 Student Award
The department is aware of an issue when trying to access the online portal and we are working on resolving this issue. As the deadline for Resident Assessment Notice submission has now passed, we cannot guarantee that documents submitted from now onwards will be processed in time for third-term maintenance payments to be released on time. If you have not yet submitted your Resident Assessment Notice or relevant business accounts, please do so by sending them by email to studentawards@gov.im
If all or part of any of their income is derived from a business or self-employment, they should also submit a copy of the accounts/income & expenditure relevant to the tax year ended 5 April 2023.
This information is required by the Department to verify the income details submitted on the 2023-24 application and finalise the award.
Hard copies should be sent to the address above or a scanned copy with the Student’s name can be emailed to studentawards@gov.im
