Postgraduate Scholarships 2011-2012
Payment of Tuition Fees
If a private company or some other organisation will be paying your tuition and/or accommodation fees, you should provide sponsor details to the Cash Office at the earliest opportunity in order that we can invoice the sponsor. Invoices will be sent out to sponsors at the start of the academic session and must be paid within 30 days. If we invoice your sponsor and they fail to pay your fees within 30 days of receiving the invoice, fees may be transferred to your account with the University and you will be liable for payment in full. Sponsorship confirmation is required for each year of study, not just in year one. The University will contact you if we encounter problems in receiving payment from your sponsor.
If you have any enquiries regarding sponsors paying your fees, then please do not hesitate to contact Student Finance.
Maintenance Payments
Postgraduate scholarship awards for academic session 2011-12 will be paid on the second last working day of each month directly into your nominated UK bank account by BACS. You must ensure that you are fully Registered otherwise your maintenance payment may be delayed. Please note that payment due on 1 October may be delayed briefly depending on when you matriculate.
New bank details and any amendments must be submitted online via e-Vision so that they are validated and payment can be processed directly into your nominated bank account.
Students can make arrangements to have deductions taken from their scholarship payments towards any University accommodation fees by choosing this option while completing the matriculation process or by e-mailing a request to Accounts Payable accpay@st-andrews.ac.uk.
The University will be notified by Research Councils (AHRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, STFC) of the students who are to receive a postgraduate award. Students should receive written notification of the offer of the award and need to ensure that they complete any necessary documentation.
The Research Councils send the funds directly to the University, who will then process the payment directly into the students nominated UK bank account by BACS. Payment will be credited to the nominated account on the second last working day of each month.
Students who are paid directly by an external agency should contact that agency for payment arrangements.
If you have any enquiries regarding maintenance payments then please contact Karen Laing, Accounts Payable Supervisor, on Ext 2491 or e-mail kjg11@st-andrews.ac.uk. Alternatively please contact Accounts Payable on Ext 3094 or email accpay@st-andrews.ac.uk.
