If you're a full-time student and have any unearned taxable income, this will be taken into account when assessing your basic bursary award.
We do not take into account any income from employment or self-employment as any earnings outside your normal study pattern are disregarded when assessing your basic bursary award.
If you're a part-time student, both earned and unearned income is taken into account.
Various disregards are then applied to this income:
| Type of income | Amount disregarded |
|---|---|
| Sponsorship, Scholarship, Cadetship income, salary, or wages for work done while on a part-time course | Up to £5,019 |
| Income under a trust deed or similar instrument for an independent student | Up to £2,352 |
| Any pension, allowance or other benefit payable by reason of incapacity to which the student is subject, his or her old age, retirement, the death of a spouse, civil partner, parent, or other person the student was dependent or by reason of his military or public service | Up to £4,038 |
|
Any income not otherwise disregarded for either:
|
Up to £2,315 Up to £9,069 Up to £1,065 |
Any income remaining after we've applied the relevant disregards will be reduced from your bursary award pound for pound.
If you're not applying for the means tested elements of the NHS Bursary, you do not need to declare your income. Enter £0 in the 'Student's Income and Expenses' section of the application.
