Jersey students will be eligible for up to just over £ 9,000 to help with living costs.
Changes made to higher education grants now provide distance learners with a maintenance grant and an increased tuition fee grant.
From September 2025, distance learners will be eligible for the same grant formula as campus-based students.
Distance learning students can get up to £9,138 to help with living costs.
The tuition grant available to them will increase from £7,400 to £9,535.
The Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning, Deputy Rob Ward, said:
"This will level the playing field and further open higher education as a viable path for more young people in Jersey to pursue."
Grants are still awarded on an assessment made of the household income, for both distance and campus students.
For distance learners, grants will be adjusted based on how many credits they study (study intensity).
