Support for NHS students announced- aka medics, nurses, physios

I am applying for physiotherapy as a 2nd degree after a BSc (Hons) Biology degree.....am I still entitled to the maintenance loan AND the nhs £1000 grant???

Student finance seems to be telling me I get £0.00 for maintenance loan if I say ''I will not be applying for the NHS grant''....or if I click ''I will be applying for an NHS grant'' then it wont let me continue with my application for any loans..........?!?!

CONFUSED.

I previously received 4 years of funding from NHS bursaries but now I am on a different course to train as a different profession, on the website it says you can receive funding again if you retrain in a different profession however my application has been rejected, is there anything I can do? Is it possible to have my student loan extended?

Did you resolve this issue? :frown:

I am currently ripping my hair out with my student finance and I am having the same issues...

I can't seem to find out anywhere where the majority of each term will be spend for the course and fees section... Is it at university or on work placement? I don't know where to find this out.

I start in March and no one seems to know. I'm so confused!

Hi, just filling in my BOSS account application and come across a few bits I'm confused about. I'm a dependent student so in the "student's income and expenses" section will I definitely be putting in my parents details? Also is there any deadline?
