Okie doke thanks! but I tried to do that a few days ago and it said I wouldn't be able to get any money off them, are we entitled to less because our fees are covered by the NHS?x

You'll get £2324 from student finance, you need to apply for non means tested and make sure that you tick the NHS bursary box. I think today is actually the deadline so if you're having problems ring them. You're definitely entitled to that, unless you have a degree already, i'm not sure how it works then.

You're actually guaranteed a loan off them because of the NHS scheme, regardless of whether you've already got a degree. The form's not the most user friendly though- lots of people on here (including me) had trouble getting it to come up with the right answers. Give them a ring but if they say you're not entitled ignore them and be insistent- you absolutely are entitled to a loan!! Don't take no for an answer, good luck!

I don't have any other forms apart from those ones, so it must be. I don't know either, I also don't know if i'll be able to drive in two years time or where i'll be living over that summer,it seems a bit early to be asking this stuff!

Hi, did you fill out the forms? I still haven't sent mine in because I have no idea about placement or accommodation yet

For Sheffield? Yeah, I sent my CRB and placement form in this week. I know the only two places i'll be living are Sheffield or Doncaster (which are literally a twenty minute train ride apart) so they share all the same accessible towns, so I just used one of the slots. Haven't done the health stuff yet though

[juliewho]

Ooh, and on that note, recieved my NHS bursary application invitation! I'll get started on that tonight

Strathclyde Union is pretty amazing! It has like - I dunno, MANY floors =) I'm just about to make a wee Facebook group for us (all...6 of us or whatever!) so we all know each other !

Yay i'm glad theres other people on here going to Strathclyde! I'm very excited! No i just have a conditional as i've only just done my A levels. I'm from Northern Ireland...most people seem to be from Scotland already!
Had a mare with saas and didn't realise we had to actually apply for our fees to be paid (my school haven't told me anything other than Student Finance NI), but i phoned them up and i think it's all sorted now!
I applied for my bursary through saas and it is income assessed. I'm only getting a bursary of £104..doesn't even cover a weeks accomodation! That is completely different from the typical rates saas quote on the website..and my parents only have an average salary. The NHS website also says that we're entitled to a £1000 grant? Does anyone know anything about this?

Hope you got all your finance sorted out! I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm to apply for! I made a wee Facebook group for everyone going to Strathclyde, if you add me on Facebook I'll add you to the group =) Just search for Rhona Sangster (I should be the only one!)

I'm an east coaster - from Whitehead, near Larne? I miss the sea when I'm in Glasgow! Hmm I'll have to look into the NHS stuff. It's all so confusing.

Just attempting to fill in my NHS application. I can't access the part about the documents yet, does anyone know what stuff we have to send them? For example, proof of identity or anything like that? If so, what proof did you need to give? I don't really want to send my passport if I don't have to.

As you're applying for the first time, you'll have to send your passport and your birth certificate (at least, that's what I had to send). The financial evidence you have to provide depends on what income you have (the evidence will be different for self-employed/employed/unemployed people).

Once you've completed and submitted the form they'll send you an e-mail detailing what they need from you. I think everyone needs to send proof of identity (two types, one with a photo) but you night need to send some financial information as well depending on the answers you give on the form (so they need your form to work out what they need from you). I had to send proof of income for 36months to prove I'm an independent student but that wouldn't apply to everyone.
Hope that helps!

I'm a bit worried about applying as an independent student as I don't know what my work situation will be when I start the course. Are you in same situation? Just I'll be leaving my ft job and looking for a pt one. Don't want them thinking I'm on same salary as I am right now and giving me less money!
