To ask the Scottish Government how many full-time students from the country's most deprived areas, and who started their course over the last three years, would have been eligible to pay the graduate endowment fee.
Answer
In order to provide an answer we would need to look at the circumstances of every full-time student in Scotland and apply these to the old eligibility criteria for the graduate endowment. This is not something we routinely do and is therefore not information that we hold centrally.
The 5th report following the abolition of the Graduate Endowment was placed before Parliament on 4 April 2013.
