NHS Learning Support Fund

The NHS offers various types of additional financial support to students studying certain Medical, Dentistry, and Healthcare courses to assist with costs related to study such as travel and childcare.

Travel and Dual Accommodation Expenses

Excess Travel and Dual Accommodation Expenses can be reimbursed when undertaking practical training on placements.

Training Grant

It has been announced by the Government that additional funding support will be available to Healthcare students from September 2020. This includes students who are going into their second or third year of study.

Child Dependants Allowance

The Child Dependants Allowance is a grant for students who have parental responsibility of at least one child aged up to 15 years, or up to 17 years if registered with special educational needs, on the first day of the academic year.

Exceptional Support Fund

Students who are facing financial hardship, have exhausted all other means of funding and need additional financial support to continue their study can apply to the NHS Exceptional Support Fund to be considered for an additional grant. This grant can be worth up to £3000 per year.
