DirectGov gives a brief overview of student finance for those in Scotland, but SAAS will be able to provide full details of eligibility criteria and application processes.

The Scottish Government and Skill Scotland -previously National Bureau for Students with Disabilities- have developed the 'Helping You Meet The Costs Of Learning - Disabled Students' booklet which provides an overview of the funding available for 2010-2011 for disabled learners.

The booklet also provides information about the different types of financial support that is available to disabled learners, including general financial support and funding specifically available for disabled people. It also summarises information about getting welfare benefits as a disabled student. You can download the booklet from the Scottish Government website.
