Eligibility Criteria for Funding Second First Degrees

The request was refused by Student Awards Agency for Scotland.

Dear Student Awards Agency for Scotland,

Can you please inform me of the specific criteria used when assessing the eligibility for funding tuition fees for second first degrees in Scotland. If this criteria has changed in the past 6 years (since 2006) can you please provide me with the old criteria as well as any and all amendments to date.

Can you inform me of the legislation used to create the eligibility criteria and whether this conforms with the necessary UK and European Legislation on equality and human rights.

Can you also provide me with statistics for successful and unsuccessful applications for funding for second first degrees since 2006.

Can you also provide me with the nature of successful applications for second first degrees since 2006 and the processes such applications were required to go through before they were successful.

Yours faithfully,
J.G.D Taylor.
