Additional Funding Information

Information about some additional sources of funding can be found below.

Financial support from Trusts and Charities

Many educational trusts, benevolent funds and professional bodies offer support to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. There are many (and often time-consuming ways) to identify funds that may reflect your own unique situation but help is available in the form of search facilities.

Scholarship Search enables you to search by subject area or type of funds available as well as entering your particular details such course of study, domicile etc

For Scottish domicile students, the Students Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) will, on receipt of its completed REE1, search the Register of Educational Endowments for you. Form REE1 can be found in Other Sources of Funding on the SAAS website

SAC is recognised as an education provider for the purposes of certain UK Government funding initiatives, e.g. Adult Learning and the Ministry of Defence's Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme.

Payment of fees with ILAs

SAC's academic courses are now registered with LearnDirect Scotland for the purposes of Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs). This means that students studying our HE level courses part-time may be eligible for £500 of funding, or those studying individual modules on a part-time basis, may be eligible for up to £200 of funding.

Students wishing to use ILA Scotland funding toward their fees need to register with, and apply to, the  ILA Scotland by 'phoning  0808 100 1090 or visiting the ILA Scotland website

It is hoped that ILAs will be accepted towards all SAC academic awards and short courses registered on the national learning opportunities database. If you do not see your course of interest on the database, please contact Jill Thomson for advice.
