The Scottish Government has announced that Scottish university students taking part in all overseas exchange programmes are to receive full tuition fee support from next year under new procedures being introduced.
At present, Scottish students taking part in the Erasmus exchange, covering 31 European countries, have their tuition fees paid.
However, those participating in other recognised programmes outside of Europe - currently around 300 students a year - are often liable to pay half their tuition fees during their exchange at a cost of approximately £1,000 a year, with the remainder being met by the Students Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS).
Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning Fiona Hyslop has announced changes to that system which will mean that from the next academic year all eligible students on recognised exchange programmes will get full fee support from SAAS.
