Postgraduate students
In addition to exploring funding options through your local government above, if you are a UK postgraduate student you may want to look into your eligibility for Postgraduate Masters Loans and Professional and Career Development Loans available through the UK Government.
Some of our postgraduate courses are awarded by The University of Edinburgh or the University of Glasgow so be sure to check their funding pages to see if you're eligible for funding through them as well.
Finally, specific funding opportunities available for your chosen course of study at SRUC may also be found within our course catalogue.

Additional funding
Whether you're studying full-time or part-time, you may also be eligible for these funding support programmes:

Discretionary Fund
The purpose of the Discretionary Fund is to assist students who endure financial difficulties while attending college. It is used mostly to assist students who have their own accommodation and require assistance in paying their housing costs and associated expenses.

Childcare funding
Childcare funds are designed to provide financial assistance to students whose entry to, or continuation of, their chosen course at SRUC may be inhibited by the cost of childcare.

Travel expenses
All young people and children aged 5-21 years are entitled to free bus travel.

Care experienced students
Students who have been in care at any time may be eligible for a Care-experienced Bursary. The term 'care-experienced' refers to anyone who has experienced a certain form of care in their life (sometimes known as having been ‘looked after’).

Student bursaries
We offer a variety of additional funding opportunities to encourage and support engaged students, passionate about their subject area, to maximise their potential and study at SRUC.

IT Equipment
If you don't have access to a laptop but you need one for your course, SRUC will provide you with one.

SRUC alumni discount
SRUC offers a 15% discount on tuition fees to SRUC alumni on its taught postgraduate programmes.
