Part time and distance learning
New support for Higher Education (HE) part time and distance learning students is to be introduced for Autumn enrolment 2008.
A part time HE fee grant of up to £500 will be available to all new and existing students who are aged 16 or over, earn £18,000 or less and who are studying at 50% or more of a full time course. This fee grant will replace the current £500 loan.
Application forms for the new scheme will be available from the end of June 2008, and you will be able to apply by contacting the ILA Scotland helpline on 0808 100 1090.
You will also find more information on the new fee grant on the ILA Scotland website.
If you are an existing part time student and you still want to apply for your part time loan for the 2007-2008 academic session, please contact us and we can send you the appropriate forms.
