Students are entitled to free annual membership of SYHA which allows you to stay at hostels at members rates and travel round Scotland on a budget. Many students take advantage of their long summer holidays and use them as an opportunity to work and travel abroad. With your free SYHA membership, you automatically become a member of International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF) so you can choose from over 4000 hostels in 63 countries, allowing you to work and travel safely and at very low costs.

As well as discounts on bednights and IYHF membership, your free membership carries a huge range of benefits and discounts including 20% off standard fares of Scottish Citylink and 10% off vehicle hire at Arnold Clark.
