Did you know that we offer grants to students from armed forces communities?
From grant funding to complete an HNC/HND or Modern Apprenticeships to university funding, we can provide student funding for a maximum of four years.
We can provide a little financial support for lots of different things to complement other sources of student support secured in support of your studies.
We can provide a little financial help to take a little weight off your shoulders to help you focus on getting the best possible student experience.
From covering living costs, transport, and purchasing learning resources to meeting more specific needs, we’ll be able to help with most applications for support.
To apply for our college, modern apprenticeship, or university grants, you need to be between 16-25 years old and have enrolled in an undergraduate course.
You also need to come from a Scottish serving or veteran family. We can also help students from non-Scottish serving and veteran families residing in Scotland too.
Applications close on Friday 09 August 2024.
