Student Awards - Loans

Learners who have been offered a place on a full-time HNC or HND course are eligible to apply for an award from the Students Award Agency for Scotland (Tel: 0131 476 8212).

SAAS are encouraging as many learners as possible to apply online which may be accessed at www.saas.gov.uk. – applying online speeds up the whole process – if you need help contact Learner Services. Alternatively you may download the SAAS form from the website for completion and return to Edinburgh by post. 

European learners may apply for a “fees only” award which depends on residency status. NB Learners who do not apply will be liable to pay their own fees to the College. Please complete all SAAS applications and any other sources of finance as a matter of urgency as worrying about payment of fees interferes with your studies.
