Has anyone had any experience with getting grants as British passport holder who is resident overseas?

You mean you want a grant for education abroad from UK sources?

I guess nothing would suprise me, although my daughter couldn't get a grant when she lived in the UK as requirements are so strict now

My son wasn't entitled to any help when he was at college, although every single person in his class received something. I can assure you we paid our taxes and didn't earn a fortune (I was only a teacher).
