Undergraduate Study
Financial Information for Scottish Students
Adult Returning Students
In what ways are the funding arrangements different for Adult Returning students?
You are classed as an adult returning student if you are: 25 or over on the first day of your course; are married; or have supported yourself from your own earnings or benefits three years prior to the start of your course. As is the case for other Scottish students studying in Scotland, you do not have to pay tuition fees and are eligible to apply for a maximum student loan of £4,300 of which £850 is not means tested. Adult Returning students are exempt from paying the Graduate Endowment Fee.
In addition to student loans you may also apply for income-assessed, non-repayable supplementary grants, such as Dependants' Grant, Lone Parents' Grant and travelling expenses. You may also apply for the non income-assessed Disabled Students' Allowance, if eligible. More information and details on appying for supplementary grants is available on the SAAS website.
