Elfen allweddol o’r pecyn cyllid newydd i fyfyrwyr yw ei fod yn cynnig pecyn cryfach o gymorth i fyfyrwyr sydd am astudio’n rhan-amser, gan sicrhau bod myfyrwyr israddedig llawn amser a rhan-amser yn cael yr un cyfleoedd. Cymru fydd y wlad gyntaf yn Ewrop i ddarparu cymorth cyfwerth ar gyfer costau byw – mewn grantiau a benthyciadau – i fyfyrwyr israddedig llawn amser a rhan-amser, yn ogystal ag ôl-raddedigion.
A key element of the new student finance package is that it offers a stronger package of support for students who want to study part-time, ensuring that undergraduate full-time and part-time students have the same opportunities. Wales will be the first county in Europe to provide equivalent living costs support – in grants and loans – to full-time and part-time undergraduates, as well as post-graduates.
