Saas!!

Where does it say on SAAS when the deadline for sending the application is? I haven't seen a date anywhere and no mention of 12th of may... Am I too late?

I'm a EU national (Sweden) btw, and as I was filling in the application I too was asked to fill in two paper forms when I came to the residence information part. I have no problem doing that but some of the questions on that form are really difficult to answer as a non-UK resident.. For example, on the form my parents have to fill in it asks "Last permanent UK address" and "Reason for leaving the UK", while none of my parents have ever lived in the UK nor intend to. So how did you other non-UK people fill in those forms?

I don't know how things work for EU students. But for Scots the deadline for support this year isn't until June 2010.

Are you sure your parents need to fill the form? I was asked to fill two forms (one by myself and the other by a parent) as well but turns out SAAS didn't need them after all... and I'm Finnish, I don't know why they'd need them from a Swede either. I'd ask to find out if they're really necessary. And in case you really do need to return them just put N/A or something.

Guys, if you're an EU student and want to apply for SAAS, do it now! I applied last week on May 26 and I just got a letter dated May 27 with my awards notice. Which means that it took them one day (!!!!) to process my application. It's sort of jaw-dropping. Apparently they're working fast right now, so go get that application done!

So you're saying that they appear to be on application frenzy over at SAAS and we should take the opportunity?

Can someone help with the actual income assessed bit, my parents don't understand (english ain their first language) and I have no clue....

I've gotten to the bit where you enter their information on income. I've been reading the help guide along with it and have got the PAYE income done on both but I'm stuggling with the rest.

Only my brother has down this before (but he's resistant to help!). What other info do I need? Would I be able to send it away with just that? I know for sure some parts don't apply to them but I don't get the bit which says

' National Savings accounts, bonds, loans, settlements and trusts, gratuities, profits from boarders, casual fees and so on*

Bank and/or building society interest received*

Dividends received*

Other income*"

I know its not very helpful but What and where do I get these from if and could someone please explain what they are..... god am coming accross more dense than usual

ANy help with do thanks!

If I sent it will they reject it or contact me if more is needed?

God this is a pain in the arse, the internet bit is OK, but I have to print of and fill in two resident eligibility forms, its very annoying.

It keeps asking when was the last time I lived in the UK, my parents or I have never lived in the UK, and it just asks us stupid round about questions. I rang and asked if it was really nessacary to fill in, and they said yes. Uegh, I hate forms.

If you're an EU student and neither your parents nor you have ever lived in the UK, you do not need to fill this out. It always comes up for everyone who applies, and numerous people have called and they were told they wouldn't have to fill it in.

I didn't fill it in and I got an awards notice about my tuition fees being paid straight away. So, just do the online thing and ignore the forms.
