    I recently finished my final exams for my undergraduate degree, and I am now attempting to apply for a grant for a postgraduate course. However, I am finding it difficult to answer the questions pertaining to my previous higher education. I have not received my exam results yet but I am confident I passed them all and that I will be able to graduate in August. One of the questions asked if I have received a qualification and I don't know what to answer to that question. I should qualify with a Level 8 Honours degree but is it premature to say that I have received that qualification when I haven't yet? The only other option for me to put down is "None".

    You should contact SUSI about this before taking any action, however I would think it is OK to list the qualification you expect to receive and list the expected date of award. I would expect your full transcripts will be available by the time they start assessing your documentation. Answering "none" would likely cause headaches down the line.

    If you are applying for a post-graduate course you should put down that you have a degree. The question is only to ensure you are progressing.
