# The Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Regulations 1988 (“the principal Regulations”) so that a person is now classed as an “independent student” after being married for 2 years prior to the relevant date relating to the year of his course for which he is applying for a bursary. Previously a person was not so classed until he had been married for 3 years.
Whether or not a person is classed as an “independent student” is in certain circumstances a relevant factor in determining whether that person has been “ordinarily resident” in the British Islands or the European Community for an appropriate period (in terms of regulation 2(5) of the principal Regulations) and is thus eligible for a bursary.
