SAAS Application workshop sessions

We will be hosting online sessions via MS Teams which will provide guidance on all aspects of SAAS funding schemes & offer advice on how to make a successful application to obtain funding. These sessions can be attended by students, parents and carers, partners and spouses. They will run from 2 June to 30 June.  Attendees can book their free ticket here https://buytickets.at/studentawardsagencyscotlan/2205764
                                                                                                                
These interactive workshops will:

• explain the funding available from SAAS for those planning to undertake higher education courses (HNC/HND/Degree courses); and
• provide information on the repayment of student loans; and
• have direct access to a funding awareness advisor who can assist you with the formal submission of your SAAS Application.

Please note that our approach to all engagement is on a Digital First basis but in-person requests will be considered. All in-person requests should be sent to us using the following web forms - Funding Awareness Team - SAAS
