  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations consolidate with only minor and drafting amendments the Students' Allowances (Scotland) Regulations 1987 (“the 1987 Regulations”) and subsequent amending instruments. They enable the Secretary of State to pay allowances to persons attending courses of education who fulfil certain criteria as to eligibility and they prescribe the conditions and requirements subject to which allowances may be paid.\nThe eligibility criteria are detailed in Schedule 1, whilst Schedule 2 makes provision as to when a person is to be treated as “ordinarily resident” in a place for or at a particular time.\nRegulation 7 revokes the 1987 Regulations, but provides for these to continue to have application as regards allowances awarded prior to revocation.",
