Scotland's Education Secretary John Swinney has told the SNP conference that students from EU countries starting in 2017/18 would pay no fees.
In July the minister said there would be no change to funding in 2016/17.
Guarantees were being sought by students after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Mr Swinney also urged the UK government to "guarantee their [students] right to stay here during their studies and work here after their studies".
He announced the funding pledge during his keynote address to the Glasgow conference, attended by 3,000 delegates.
