If you are planning to study a health-related degree at university, you may be entitled to financial support in the form of an NHS bursary or other funding options. Most students undertaking degrees in fields such as nursing, midwifery, paramedic science, and allied health professions are eligible for some form of student bursary or financial assistance.

In England, the NHS Learning Support Fund provides grants to eligible students pursuing healthcare degrees. This support typically includes a training grant, parental support (if applicable), and assistance with travel and accommodation costs related to clinical placements. Some students may also qualify for additional hardship funding depending on their circumstances.

It is important to note that eligibility criteria can vary, and it is your responsibility to review the latest information to understand what financial support you may be entitled to. For comprehensive details about NHS bursaries and the Learning Support Fund, please visit the NHS website.

University applications are typically made through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). UCAS provides extensive information about applying for university courses, student finance options, and important deadlines.

At Academy Online Learning, we prepare you for entry into health-related degrees by offering recognised Access to Higher Education Diplomas. However, planning for university funding is just as important as gaining your academic qualifications. We recommend exploring bursary and financial support options early, so you are fully prepared when you start your degree studies.
