Funding update: Non-repayable grants of at least £5,000
The Government has announced that from September 2020 students studying undergraduate and postgraduate pre-registration nursing, midwifery and many allied health courses, including radiography and speech and language therapy, will receive a non-repayable and non-means tested (universal) grant of £5,000 a year. This is in addition to existing mainstream student support accessed through the Student Loans Company.
The Government has also announced additional support for childcare costs, and funding for specific courses identified as shortage specialisms, including BSc Radiography courses.
This means new students joining our BSc Radiography courses from 2020 will be eligible to receive at least £6,000.
Applications for this new funding can be made from Wednesday 1st July 2020, please visit the NHS Learning Support Fund website for more information. You can also read their FAQs for more information about the funding available, how to apply and eligibility.
