Trafodaeth Discussion

Cwestiynau allweddol

Sut beth fyddai gwasanaeth delfrydol

Beth sydd angen ei newid?

Beth mae grwpiau bregus ei angen?

Key questions:

What would an ideal service look like?

What needs to change?

What do vulnerable groups need?

Dileu Rhannol Partial Cancellation

Pwyntiau allweddol:

Ar gael i fyfyrwyr o Gymru ble bynnag y byddant yn astudio

Talu £5 i dileu £1500 o’r benthyciad

Ni ellir ond gwneud hyn unwaith, felly ni ddylai myfyrwyr ond gwneud hyn pan fyddant wedi derbyn o leiaf £1500 o’u benthyciad cynhaliaeth

Key points:

Available to Welsh students wherever they study

Pay £5 and writes off £1500 of the loan

Can only be done once, so students should only do it when they have received at least £1500 of their maintenance loan
