To ask the Scottish Executive whether there are now any plans to increase the graduate endowment threshold repayment above the rate of inflation.
Answer
There is no payment threshold for the graduate endowment.
Liable graduates must pay the endowment on 1 April following graduation but may meet their liability by adding the amount to their student loan. There is a partnership agreement commitment to support a UK-wide increase to the repayment threshold for student loans.

I have asked Angiolina Foster, Chief Executive of Communities Scotland, to respond. Her response is as follows:
Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) is committed to achieving its target of transferring its housing stock through second stage transfers into community ownership. Seventeen housing associations have expressed an interest in being part of a prototype programme to be progressed during 2004-05. GHA is currently working with the local housing organisations and other stakeholders, including Communities Scotland, to agree the overall guidance and framework for second stage transfers and Communities Scotland will be responsible for monitoring GHA’s progress with this.

To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to evaluate the effects of the graduate endowment.
Answer
The graduate endowment is part of the package of improved student support introduced in 2001-02 which includes bursaries for young students from low-income families. The first graduates liable to pay the endowment will complete courses this year and make their payments on 1 April next year. While we will continue to monitor participation in higher education in the light of the new support arrangements it is too early to begin to evaluate the effects of the graduate endowment.
