Shirley-Anne Somerville, Minister for Further Education, Higher Education and Science, said: “It’s extremely important that students submit an accurate application to SAAS to ensure they don’t miss out.

“I would encourage all students to apply now. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting students in their Higher Education journey by offering the right level of funding.”

Paul Lowe, SAAS chief executive, said: “At SAAS we want to make sure that all students receive the funding and tuition fees that they’re entitled to.

“I urge students to visit our website to submit their applications and supporting evidence as soon as possible.

“It is vital that fully completed applications for 2017-2018 are received by March 31, 2018 to ensure that all funding is paid.”
