These Regulations consolidate, with minor amendments, the Students' Allowances (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1131 (S.91)) and certain amending instruments, which are revoked with transitional provisions by the Education (Graduate Endowment, Student Fees and Support) (Scotland) Revocation Regulations 2007 (S.S.I. 2007/ 148). In addition to minor and drafting alterations, these Regulations make the changes of substance described below.
The definitions of “employment” (including “employed”) and “relevant date” have been clarified.
Support in relation to fees only has been extended to include nationals of EU overseas territories.
Tables of Derivations and Destinations have been prepared identifying individual regulations in these Regulations with the equivalent provisions in the superseded Regulations and vice versa. Copies of the Tables may be obtained from the Scottish Executive, Higher Education and Learner Support Division, Europa Building, 450 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8LG. The Tables have been prepared to assist readers of the Regulations and do not have any legal effect.
