The Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1998
These Regulations amend the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 1997 (“the principal Regulations”), Part II of which permits further and higher education institutions to charge a higher fee to overseas students than to home students. The criteria set by the principal Regulations for qualification for home fee status were amended by the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1997 (“the Amendment Regulations”) to include an additional requirement that the student should be “settled in the United Kingdom” within the meaning of the Immigration Act 1971.
