Part 1: The Office for Students Funding of the OfS Section 74: Grants from the Secretary of State
This section confers a power on the Secretary of State to make grants to the OfS and allows the Secretary of State to attach terms and conditions to such grants (including in relation to repayment of sums and payment of interest). Terms and conditions may be framed by reference to particular courses of study.
	This section also includes a number of requirements and restrictions in relation to the terms and conditions that may be imposed to protect the institutional autonomy of providers. In particular, the Secretary of State must have regard to the need to protect the institutional autonomy of English Higher education providers (as defined in section 2(8) of this Act) when determining what terms and conditions to impose.
	In addition, there are specific restrictions where terms and conditions relate to the provision of financial support by the OfS under section 39 or 40 of this Act.
	This section forms part of the law of England and Wales.
