Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Regulations 1988. Regulation 2 is amended to specify those training programmes currently in operation. Regulation 5 is amended to enable a refugee (or the spouse or child of a refugee) to be eligible for a bursary if he has the appropriate status at the date of the education authority receiving his application. A further amendment to regulation 5 specifies that fees-only awards available to European Community students will not be available to persons who have been ordinarily resident in the British Islands throughout the 3 years preceding the relevant date in respect of the course in question.
