                "description": "Graduate Apprenticeships (GAs) are work-based learning programmes at SCQF levels 8, 10 or 11 that lead to degree level qualifications. They allow an individual to work and gain a degree at the same time. They will be nationally recognised, accredited, and certificated by a learning provider, usually a university. In the case of GAs at SCQF level 10 or 11, they lead to a higher education degree or postgraduate award. At SCQF level 8, they lead to an award with 240 credits, the same level as an HND, but are not restricted to HNDs and are work-based. This is a challenge fund process, which is open to Further and Higher Education (FE/HE) institutions operating principally in Scotland who would be eligible to apply for SFC Core Funding. Applications are invited from Universities for all frameworks within Lot 1 and can comprise applications to deliver single or multiple frameworks. Applications are invited from colleges as sole/lead bidders for frameworks at SCQF level 8, and with a lead University partner for frameworks at SCQF level10 and/or 11.",
