Part-Time Fee Grants for students in Scotland
As a student living in Scotland, you may be eligible for a Part-Time Fee Grant from the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS).
If your personal income is £25,000 or less, or you’re receiving certain benefits, you could qualify for the fee grant and top-up funding to cover 100% of your course fees.
It’s a grant rather than a loan, so you won’t need to pay it back.
How to apply
You can apply for a Part-Time Fee Grant once per academic year. You should submit your grant application to SAAS and complete your registration with us on or before the final enrolment date of your course.
It can take up to 28 days for SAAS to process your application. So, to secure your funding, we strongly recommend submitting your application immediately after registering for your module.
To find out more about the grant, visit the SAAS website.
You can also view our step-by-step guide to applying for the Part-Time Fee Grant and enrolling on your module.

OU study has changed me as a person. It's made me realise that you can actually do anything you want to. I was able to gain funding through Student Awards Agency Scotland. Without this, I wouldn't have been able to study.
