Rwy’n ymwybodol y bydd angen cymorth ar rai myfyrwyr i dalu costau ymlaen llaw ar gyrsiau rhan-amser.  Er mwyn sicrhau bod gan fyfyrwyr gradd ddigon o arian i dalu’r ffi llawn, o 2014/15, bydd yn bosib i fyfyrwyr cymwys sy’n astudio mwy na 25% o gwrs llawn gael benthyciad heb brawf modd gan Gyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru.  Rwyf wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion gydweithio â rhanddeiliaid allweddol ar weithredu’r newidiadau arfaethedig i’r system cymorth i fyfyrwyr o 2014/15.
I am aware that some students may need access to support to cover the up-front costs of tuition fees for part-time courses. In order to ensure that undergraduate students have sufficient funds to cover the full fee, from 2014/15 eligible students studying at an intensity of over 25%of a full-time course will be able to access a non-means tested loan from Student Finance Wales. I have asked my officials to work closely with key stakeholders on the implementation of the proposed changes to the student support system for 2014/15.
