The companion to our popular Student Support and Benefits Handbook, this annual title is the key guide to the benefits and tax credits for students in Scotland.

It includes a quick guide to the grants and loans available for further and higher education in Scotland, and clear, easy-to-use information on students’ benefit entitlement and how this is affected by their student income. Also included is information on how benefits are affected in vacations and if a student takes time out from their course.

Fully updated for the 2020/21 academic year, the book is an invaluable resource for anyone who advises students in Scotland. It is fully cross-referenced to the law and includes easy-to-use checklists and examples.
