Childcare Fund (Scotland)

The Fund is provided by SAAS to Universities in Scotland to help towards the cost of registered or formal childcare:

You must be eligible for tuition fee support to get help from the Fund.
You must have taken out the maximum student loan available to you.
Your University decides which students should receive payments and how much each payment should be.
The Fund is limited so not all eligible students will receive money.
From 2011/12 the Lone Parent Grant(£1,305) will be administered directly by your University via the Childcare Fund. You will therefore not apply to SAAS but to your University for this grant.
If you're studying in Scotland but are in receipt of the Childcare Grant from England, Wales or Northern Ireland you will not be able to get help from the Childcare Fund.
Apply directly to your University for help if you have childcare costs.

Once you reach fifth year, if you are receiving the Scottish Executive Health Department Bursary, you're not eligible to apply to this Fund but you can still apply to the Discretionary Funds for help.
