| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee Not 100% sure if that's a good thing - but I wish they'd hurry up and ditch the loan repayment!
It's about 100 quid a month off my wage.
I don't actually mind paying it back in all honesty - I enjoyed spending every penny.

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee Aye but does that only apply to new students?
Will those of us preparing to pay it back this April be included?

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee I expect it'll only be for new students.
When it was introduced (in 2001, I believe) it only applied to students starting that year, meaning that despite the fact I'm graduating at the end of the month I don't have to pay it having first matriculated in 2000.
I've never paid any fees  |

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee In the manifesto I'm sure they said all existing loan debt would be written off.
Not sure about endowments

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee No official word yet about current students. I could really do without having to pay this, I had that money earmarked for a flat deposit later down the line.

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee Loan repayments are not being written off. Despite manifesto promises, they realised they could not pass it through parliament with the (lack of) majority they have. Damn. And I just bought a new car as well.

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee Where did you hear that?
I figured the Lib Dems might back them on it making it feasible.

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee The 50 quid a month that gets taken off me is getting more and more tiresome with each months pay. Fucking loans.

| Re: SNP scrap student endowment fee Why are English and Welsh students required to pay the fee if they want to study at Scottish universities?
