Once you’ve received a letter and invoice from our Finance Department informing you of the overpayment, there are several ways you can repay this.
Online
You can pay your invoice balance by credit or debit card.
You’ll be asked for both your:
- customer reference number, which is your PRN and 7 digit SWB reference number
- invoice number
Cheque
To pay the balance by cheque, you must make it payable to 'NHSBSA'. Write your PRN and 7 digit SWB reference number on the back and send it with your invoice number to:
Accounts Receivable
Finance Team
Stella House
Goldcrest Way
Newburn Riverside
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE15 8NY
BACS transfer or standing order
You can pay the balance by BACS transfer or standing order.
The reference number in the BACS transfer must be your SWB reference and invoice number without the '000000'.
This means, if your SWB reference is 3013013 and your invoice number is 0000007141, your BACS transfer reference must be 3013013/7141

Your overpayment cannot be deferred, even if you intend to return to your course in the future.
If you return to your course
If you're eligible for any funding on returning to your course, we'll deduct the remaining balance of the overpayment from your new bursary entitlement.
If you're still entitled to part funding once the overpayment has been deducted, your remaining entitlement will be split and paid over the remaining terms of your academic year.
If your remaining overpayment balance is more than your new entitlement, your overpayment balance will only be reduced. You must pay what is left and you will not receive any further bursary payments.
