Summary
Bursaries are available to students from Perthshire (or with close associations to Perthshire) who are about to enter their first year of an undergraduate course at one of Glasgow's universities, or an HNC/HND course at one of Glasgow's colleges (i.e. students who 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 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.
