Higher Education
Higher Education can be classed as any course above HNC Level (SCQF Level 7). Students studying above this level are eligible to apply for student grants and loans from SAAS to assist while at college. Please apply for these directly through the SAAS Website.
Eligibility for support is dependent on individual circumstances however, the criteria for assistance for higher level courses is set out by SAAS directly.

Additional funds are available to students who have applied for all eligible funding from SAAS. Students can apply for assistance for childcare costs whilst studying during term time and can also apply for help with housing from our discretionary funding.
