sheetal gupta dunar The biggest change to student finance in Wales in a generation has been unveiled by the education secretary.
All students will get £1,000 a year before a means-tested grant to help with living costs.
But it will be less generous to those from better off families than a threshold suggested by an independent review.
Students from households earning more than £59,200 now - not £80,000 - will only be eligible for the basic £1,000.
The tuition fee grant of £5,100 will be scrapped and replaced with a maintenance grant of just over £8,000 for students from the most disadvantaged families.
Course fees will be paid back with a loan which students will repay once they have graduated and started earning more than £21,000.
