Bursary Application Status
18 Sep 2024 - Bursary System Closed for Winter Hibernation
PLEASE NOTE: As a result of limited resources and increasing demand for bursaries, the Society has taken the decision to revert to our original eligibility policy of accepting applications from those attending higher education institutions only. We will, therefore, no longer be able to support students going to one of Glasgow's colleges from 2025 onwards.
Summary
Bursaries are available to students from Perthshire who are about to enter their first year of an undergraduate degree course at one of Glasgow's universities or higher education institutions, and are funded by the Student Awards Agency for Scotland SAAS. Please check the Bursary Ts & Cs below for eligibility details.
Bursaries are normally awarded for the duration of undergraduate studies, up to a maximum of five years. Bursaries are not available for those in post-graduate studies or professional pre-registration courses.
There are a limited number of new bursaries available each year. The number is variable and dependent on a variety of factors.

Bursary Terms & Conditions
Full details and eligibility criteria can be found in the Bursary Terms & Conditions.
A PDF version of the Terms & Conditions is available for downloading and printing: Bursary Terms & Conditions (PDF) (may open in new tab/window depending on your browser settings)
Bursary Application Timetable
The timetable is driven by several factors including university application times, school summer holidays, publication of examination results/grades, receiving references and SAAS awards, etc., and so is liable to minor change.
The most important (and unalterable) milestone is the closing date. We must receive your printed/signed/dated application and your uploaded course offer letter by then.
