You can apply from April of the year that you want to study. You should always apply as early as possible, do not wait for exam results or a firm offer. If you do not get on the course that you originally applied for support for, we can change your application to another course or cancel your application if you contact us.

If you are studying at a Scottish institution and we receive your correctly filled-in application by 30 June it will be processed in time for the start of your course.
