Student Awards Agency for Scotland Part-Time Fee Grant (PTFG)
The PTFG is administered by SAAS (Student Awards Agency for Scotland) and provides help towards the cost of tuition fees for part-time Undergraduate students.
Dental Student Support Grant (DSSG)
Dental students at UofG who started in 2017-18 or later can apply for a grant of £4,000 a year from 2nd year onwards to help with the cost of their studies.
Rent Guarantor Scheme
The Scheme seeks to help students in obtaining accommodation that would otherwise be inaccessible due to the inability to secure a UK-based Rent Guarantor.
Under this scheme, the University can serve as a Rent Guarantor for rent payments associated with Short Assured and Private Residential tenancies.
University Laptop Loan Scheme
UofG students can request to use a laptop on a long-term loan basis from the University.
