YASS registration for 2020/21 opens April 2020.
Funding for YASS courses in Scotland
Please note, as in previous years, we are expecting YASS 2020/21 to be funded by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and completely free for pupils in local authority schools. However, we have not had formal confirmation of funding at this point. We are expecting to hear from the SFC by the end of April 2020. Please email the YASS team at Scotland-YASS@open.ac.uk if you have any questions about funding.
Independent schools should contact the YASS coordinator to discuss payment methods.
