To ask the Scottish Government what funding opportunities exist for people applying for Masters level courses in social work at Scottish universities to ensure that all fees can be met without placing financial burden on them.
Answer
I refer the Member to the answer to question S6W-06940 on 14 March 2022
The post graduate social work bursary scheme provides a contribution to the fees level set by the individual universities. This is to ensure that the funding available is able to support up to 300 students
There are other sources of funding that can be applied for. Full details of these can be found at www.saas.gov.uk and www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Education/Funding-Support-Grants
