no not for me, the bursary is from the nhs, the maintenace grant is from student finance , i get mt tution fees paid by nhs and get the bursary so i am not entitled to the maintenance grant from student finance.

yes, i get £2,346 every year in monthly installments, i just recieved my first installment which was for the first 2 months - £390 .
mine varies depending on the income of my parents and whether i live at home or not, i do so that is the maximum i get.

yes i live at home, and its around £15,000. I think you can calculate your nhs bursary on the net, try typing nhs bursary calculator into google maybe youll get something, or go on the nhs website, its just an estimate but it helps
