Are Student grants/loans etc dependent on gross or net family income?

[Just?Kay]

I know if you are from a "low income" family you may be entitled to bursaries from the university and grants from govmnt etc. but it's all on family income. Is it the gross family income or net income (before tax or after tax)?

Thanks
