Students from Scotland
Eligible students should apply for fee support under the Part-Time Fee Grant scheme.
Part-time undergraduate students ordinarily resident in Scotland can apply to SAAS for a tuition fee grant. The level of grant available will be linked to the number of credits you are studying.
To receive funding, students must:
-
meet the normal residency rules that apply for full-time students
-
have an income of £25,000 or less per year.
-
be studying an eligible HE course at SCQF levels 7-10 and you must be taking between 30-119 SCQF credits.
| SCQF level | Higher Education Qualification |
|---|---|
| 10 | Honours Degree |
| Graduate Diploma | |
| 9 | Ordinary degree |
| Graduate Certificate | |
| 8 | Higher National Diploma |
| Diploma in Higher Education | |
| 7 | Higher National Certificate |
| Certificate of Higher Education |
Eligible courses must be at least 4 months long in each academic year.
Tuition Fee Levels
The level of tuition fee support will be pro-rata on the number of SCQF credits you take. If you increase your credits after the cut off-date (1 December for Autumn start courses), you will NOT get a top-up of additional fees. The maximum part-time fee grant will be £1,805 for publicly funded degree level courses.
