I’m studying medicine in September and I have been looking at what maintenance loan I will get, I was wondering if anybody could explain this to me. Gov.uk says in year 5 I could get £2458 maintenance loan from student finance England + means-tested NHS bursary of up to £2643 depending on my parents income (compared to £4289 from SFE for the first 4 years). My parents are already going to have to contribute quite a lot towards my living costs, I was wondering if it’s likely that I will end up getting much less than the previous £4289 in year 5 with the NHS means tested bursary + the reduced maintenance loan from SFE? Any advice would be appreciated
