HE Student Support Policy
Marieli Cole – Higher Education and Learner Support Division
Student Awards Agency for Scotland Data
Information Available and Current Trends
Overview
• Brief introduction to the data we hold– Types of student we have information on– What information we have (e.g. student
characteristics, support received)
• An overview of trends in SAAS student support
• Other sources of information to give a fuller picture of HE support
Mainstream SAAS Support – who do we support?
• Mainstream support provided through SAAS for:
– Scottish domiciled students studying anywhere in the UK and EU domiciled students studying in Scotland
– Full-time students studying at HE level i.e. undergraduate, Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and a limited number of other postgraduates.
– Up until 2008-09 a small number (less than 1,000 part-time students received loan support through SAAS and SLC
– Excludes pre-registration nursing and midwifery students
• Information on mainstream SAAS support makes up the bulk of our statistics publication on HE support.
• They are the main focus of policy and external interest in HE student support
Mainstream SAAS support – where we get the data from
• SAAS’s administrative system for assessing and paying support. Data falls into two categories:– Data the student provides when they fill
out the forms to apply for support– Data created by the system as a result of
assessing the student for support and making payments
• SAAS system is a live database which is continually updated• Students can apply throughout the year • We get fixed extracts for an academic year of some of the
information held• Final academic year datasets taken from the system at a similar
point each year – i.e. for most recent years, end of August.
Mainstream SAAS support – types of support
• Three main support streams:• Fees – we include fee loans for students
studying in the rest of the UK in this category
• Awards – non-repayable support• Loans – specifically maintenance loans
– Students apply to SAAS who calculate entitlement
– Student Loans Company (SLC) extends the loan
– Majority of students applying for loans take one out from SLC and majority of amount assessed is borrowed
Mainstream SAAS support – what information we have
• Student characteristics e.g.:– Age– Gender– Disability type for some– Marital status– Household income for those who declare it– Home postcode – from that: LA, region, constituency,
SIMD analysis possible– Domicile – split into those funded as Scottish domiciles
and those funded as EU domiciles (fee support only)– Indication of where they are living whilst they study
(home, elsewhere, London)
Mainstream SAAS support – what information we have
• Course details e.g.:– Institution attended– Location and type of institution (e.g. college,
higher education institution (HEI)– Qualification level studied– Course year– Allied Health Professions flag
Mainstream SAAS support – what information we have
Support paid to students:• We know about those who have actually
received awards or fee support or who have applied for and are entitled to loans
• We know the type of support within each category e.g.– Fees – whether tuition fees (full, half,
other) or fee loans– Awards – award type (e.g. Young
Students’ Bursary, Disabled Students’ Allowance, Travel Expenses etc. etc.
– Loans – non-income assessed, income assessed, additional income assessed.
• We know the amounts actually paid to students (net of any overpayments)
Mainstream SAAS support – what we do with the data
• A National Statistics publication ‘Higher Education Student Support in Scotland’ published online in autumn each year: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2009/11/17092744/0
• Gives 6 year time series of most recent years• Publication tables going back to 1997-98 and local authority
tables also available online:http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Lifelong-learning/Datasets
• PQs and adhoc requests for both internal and external users• Policy development• SAAS’s own internal policy development and budget
forecasting• Allocation of HE Discretionary and Childcare Funds
Some Headline Student Support Statistics
• How many students?– 2008-09
• 124,845 students supported by SAAS
• 115,300 Scots• 9,545 EU
• How much money?– 2008-09
• £482.6 million (almost ½ billion!)

Other HE student funding streams
• Supplementary tables included in publication on support provided by Scottish Government through:
– Nursing and Midwifery Students’ Bursary Scheme (NMSB)
– ILA 500 – For part-time students– Higher Education Discretionary and
Childcare Funds
• Supported by the Scottish Government Health Directorate’s Nursing and Midwifery Bursary Scheme (NMSB)
• Much simpler support scheme than mainstream• Supports around 10,000 students a year• Support is in the form of a range of awards –
main bursary (non-income assessed) plus supplementary awards for travel, childcare, disabled students etc
• We publish overall numbers supported and amount of support paid
Nursing and Midwifery
ILA 500
• Introduced in 2008-09 for part-time HE students studying 50% or more of a full-time course
• £500 grant towards fee• Available to those with INDIVIDUAL income of
£18,000 or less• Threshold is now £22,000 or less• Administered by SAAS and Skills Development
Scotland• We publish overall numbers supported, amounts
and age by gender breakdown.• Data extracted from SAAS on adhoc basis
Higher Education Discretionary and Childcare Funds
• To help students who experience financial hardship during the academic year
• SAAS distribute funds but institutions are responsible for administering them
• Aggregated info on funds returned to SAAS by institutions – usually by December/January
• Information on numbers assisted is not individualised – likely to be double counting of students
• We publish ‘instances of assistance’ through the HE Discretionary and Childcare Funds and amounts issued by institutions

Observations from Student Loan take up figures
• Clear drop each year in the number of Scotland domiciled students taking out loans (reflecting a drop each year for the numbers of Scotland domiciled students in HE which may in turn be caused by a reduction in the 18-19 year old population or a reduced take up of HE?)
• The average amount of maintenance loan taken out is not increasing and is lower than in the other Government administrations (reflecting a different policy on the amount of loan obtainable non means tested versus means tested; as well as different attitudes to debt in Scotland?)

Observations from Student Loan debt and repayment figures
• There is an increase each year in the number of people with Student Loans debt but the annual increase is declining as the difference between those completing repayment and those taking out loans for the first time reduces. The increase was 17,000 in financial year 2008-09
• The amount owed increases substantially each year. In 2008-09 the debt increased from £2.05 billion to £2.23 billion
• The bulk of the debt is now repayable under the Income Contingent Repayment scheme. Under that scheme the average amount repaid each year increases by £50-80 each year. The average amount repaid in tax year 2007/08 was £530. For those one year after leaving HE it was £390 and for those four or five years after leaving HE it was £610.

on former students?

Discussion Session
User Needs and Suitability of Current Outputs
Questions for Consideration
• Do you use either ‘Higher Education Student Support for Scotland’ or ‘Student Loans for Higher Education in Scotland’?
– What do you use them for? Can you identify areas where they might be useful to you?
• Are you satisfied with the current format of our outputs?– If not, what would you change? E.g.
• The style and layout of the publications?• Shorter publications and more tables available as Excel files on the internet• Increase the number of years shown in time series?• Are there any tables which you think are unnecessary?
• What additional tables/analysis would you find useful and why?– E.g. Deprivation analysis?
• Would you find it useful if we presented change over time in a different manner? E.g.
– Should we adjust some monetary amounts to take into account inflation?– Should the tables be formatted differently to make change over time easier to
understand?
