Learning Support Fund

Healthcare students who are domiciled in England can apply for additional funding from the NHS Learning Support Fund, provided they meet certain criteria. Students domiciled elsewhere in the UK and studying in England are also eligible for this support, provided they meet the eligibility criteria for student support in the relevant part of the UK. Note: you are normally expected to have applied for any student loan for living costs to which you are entitled to then receive sums under the Learning Support Fund, but if students do not apply for loans for ‘personal reasons’ (eg, religious objections) then applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
