Source: SAAS management information.
1. Student numbers in this table have been rounded up or down to the nearest 5 (e.g. 1, 2 round to 0; 3, 4 round to 5).
2. Cash totals are rounded to the nearest thousand.
3. Each student is counted once in the 'total support' row. For this reason the total number of students is lower than the sum of the number of students receiving support through each element.
4. Cash totals may not equal the sum of their constituent parts due to rounding.
5. Fee loans were introduced in 2006/07 for students studying outside Scotland in the rest of the UK and are included in 2006/07 and 2007/08 fees totals.
6. Student loan entitlement is calculated by SAAS but the Student Loans Company extends the loan. These figures relate to entitlement rather than uptake which may be lower.
