Bursaries
A bursary is available to help full-time higher education students from Scotland with their living costs. The bursary is non-repayable and can be applied for at the same time as applying for a student maintenance loan using the same application form. Depending on the total of your and your household’s income, you may be eligible to apply for a bursary. There are currently two bursaries available:
- Young Students’ Bursary
- Independent Students’ Bursary
