Grants from the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS)

In recent years, the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) has awarded some Froebel course participants a part-time fee grant of up to £428 towards their course fees.

To be eligible for a grant from SAAS your gross income must be less than or equal to £25,000 per year AND you must meet the residence conditions (normally this means that you must have been resident in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man for 3 years prior to the course start date and resident in Scotland on the course start date)

SAAS residence conditions

To apply for a part-time fee grant for the Summer 2024 Froebel course , please complete the SAAS Part Time Fee Grant Application Form 2023/24 (Froebel Summer 2024 Course) below and email it to: SAAS_PTFG@gov.scot  (Summer 2024 participants cannot use the online application process on the SAAS website and should ignore the instruction on page 6 of the form to upload the form to their online SAAS account.)

Please note that it can take a few weeks for SAAS to process grant applications and we therefore recommend that you apply as soon as possible.

If you have not received a decision from SAAS by Friday 14 June 2024 (the course booking/payment deadline), you can confirm your place on the course by paying the full fee. If you are subsequently awarded a SAAS grant, we will refund the amount of the grant.
