Dental therapy and dental hygiene students
A small number of dental therapy and dental hygiene students whose course started in the 2018/19 academic year are eligible for an NHS bursary until the completion of their course. Your dental hygiene or dental therapy course must be based at one of the following schools:
•Birmingham Dental Hospital and School of Dentistry;
•Bristol Dental School;
•Eastman Dental Hospital;
•Greater Manchester School for Dental Care Professionals;
•King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Students on courses at these schools who started in the 2019/20 academic year or later, or whose course is at any other institution, should apply for the standard undergraduate package (see Chapter 2) and to the Learning Support Fund if eligible (see below).
If you are studying on one of these courses and are eligible for an NHS bursary, you are not eligible for payments from the Learning Support Fund (see below).
