Details are included in the leaflets available from the Scottish Education Department or from the Northern Ireland Department of Education . Supplementary Finance Students sometimes need to supplement government awards, and in certain circumstances additional income from scholarships etc. Some students are not eligible for government awards and may need to seek alternative sources of finance. This may be in the form of an industrial scholarship or a foundation grant. Charitable foundations are often established solely or primarily to provide financial support for students.
Some employers also offer trainee schemes to enable staff to obtain professional qualifications.
