Young people could be priced out of education because financial help has been frozen for nearly 20 years, it has been claimed.
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) is available to 16 to 18-year-olds living in Wales who remain in further education after school-leaving age.
Keira said her £30 EMA was the same her 31-year-old brother was entitled to when he was in school in 2004.
The Welsh government said it offered learners a range of funding support.
A Plaid Cymru Member of the Senedd wants the weekly £30 grant increased to £55 due to the rising cost of living.
Students qualify for EMA if their household annual income is below £23,077, or £20,817 if there is only one young person in their household.
