March 31st is the closing date for applications to the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) and students are being urged to make sure they have applied for 2017/2018.

Paul Lowe, SAAS Chief Executive, said:

“At SAAS we want to make sure that all students receive the funding and tuition fees that they’re entitled to.  I urge students to visit our website www.saas.gov.uk to submit their applications and supporting evidence as soon as possible.

“It is vital that fully completed applications for 2017-2018 are received by 31 March 2018, to ensure that all funding is paid.”

There are still a number of students who have not yet applied for funding and tuition fees. If they do not apply with evidence by March 31st they risk not getting any.
