SAAS funding

Hi, I'm from Italy and I'm interested to apply to the University of Edinburgh for the 2021/2022. I've heard that the SAAS "pays" the tution fees for the EU applicants but it's not clear if it would be the same for the next year. Is there anyone that can help me in finding if EU applicants will be able to access to the SAAS fundings? Thanks

I think this is the first year, 2021 entry, SAAS/Scottish unis consider EU = international applicants/fee status and it will be the same going forward due to Brexit

(someone do correct me if my understanding is wrong and/or add more extra useful information)

Yes, that’s as I understand it too.
If you have pre-settled or settled status you would get classed as a home student but if not then you are now classed as international student and thus wouldn’t be eligible for the SAAS funding.
