From 1 August 2019, the only new students who can apply for NHS Bursary funding are those on medical or dental courses entering the NHS Funded years of their course.
Continuing healthcare students on non-medical or dental courses that started before 1 August 2019 and are already in receipt of a NHS Bursary will continue to be eligible to apply for funding for the duration of their course as long as they have no interruption to their study and reapply for subsequent years within the published timescales.
If you have any change to your study pattern such as transferring to a different university or course, withdrawing from your course and resuming, or changing from full-time to part-time, you may still be eligible for NHS Bursary funding subject to authorisation from Health Education England (HEE).
If this applies to you, you must speak to your university. They'll liaise with the appropriate HEE regional office who will make the final decision with regard to continuation of NHS Bursary and tuition fee funding on a case by case basis.
Students must not assume bursary funding will automatically continue. Where this is no longer available, they must apply to Student Finance England or the equivalent UK body for mainstream student loan support instead.
