1. Fee loans were introduced for new students studying outside Scotland in the rest of the UK in 2006-2007. Students receiving fee loans are included under 'fees'.
2. Student loan entitlement is calculated by SAAS but the Student Loans Company extends the loan. These figures relate to entitlement rather than uptake which may be lower. Prior to 1999/00 students applied for a loan through their institution.
3. Student numbers have been rounded up or down to the nearest 5 (e.g. 1, 2 round to 0; 3, 4 round to 5). Totals may not equal the sum of their constituent parts due to this rounding.
4. Cash totals have been rounded to the nearest thousand and may not equal the sum of their constituent parts due to this rounding.
5. HEI = Higher Education Institution.
6. FEC = Further Education College.
7. Other institution' types include NHS colleges, theological colleges, Adult Education colleges and others.
