These Regulations amend the Students' Allowances (Scotland) Regulations 1987. Regulation 2 is amended to specify those training programmes currently in operation. Regulation 5 is amended to enable a refugee (or the spouse or child of a refugee) to be eligible for an allowance if he has the appropriate status as at the date of his application being received by the Secretary of State. A further amendment to regulation 5 specifies that fees-only awards available to European Community students will not be available to persons who have been ordinarily resident in the British Islands throughout the 3 years preceding the relevant date in respect of the course in question. Regulation 7 is amended so as to introduce a condition that payment of an allowance is dependant on a written application being received by the Secretary of State by a date to be determined by him.
