Learn more about the Scottish Funding Council (SFC)'s funding criteria.
Our fully-funded courses in Scotland are funded by the Scottish Funding Council.
Funding Criteria
- Must be aged 16 or over
- Must reside in Scotland
- Must have been living in the EU for the last 3 years
- Must have not previously completed the course you are wanting to enrol on
Your prior education
Eligibility isn't limited to your prior education however the level 2 course you are completing needs to be separate from your prior qualification. E.g., having a psychology degree and applying for our awareness of mental health.
Apprenticeship learners
Unfortunately, you cannot complete a course whilst on an apprenticeship. Whilst this is typically funded by the apprenticeship levy, it is classed as a funded course therefore you cannot claim the SFC funding.
Additional costs
As the courses are funded, all the provision is covered via the Scottish Funding Council, including the resources, the assessments, the support, registration with the awarding body, and certification. *TQUK is e-certification.
