Nhs funding

I am from Northern Ireland and will be receiving my student loan from Northern Ireland. Currently I have offers from Queen Margaret University Edinburgh and Sheffield University for the Msc in Speech and Language Therapy. I need to know if I can apply for the NHS learning Support Grant in Scotland or is it restricted to studying in England ?
