Summary
The Scottish Government has set aside £30m for 2010 / 2011 to
either increase the amount of financial support available to
full-time undergraduates, or to reduce their levels of debt on
graduation.
This consultation sets out a range of options for this funding
and also raises questions about funding of second degrees.
Next steps
Semta responded, calling for increased funding for students of
those subjects key to science and engineering employers - Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
