at the mo i am doing a foundation year. im an independant student (was 20 when started the course) and got full loan (3400) and full grant (2700)
next year im doing dietetics (so nhs funded)
what should i get in grants/burseries and loans?
i read somewhere that the standard nhs bersery is £5695 - is this per year (and does it cover tuition fees) or is it for the whole course?

if you go onto the student loan website there is a online calculator where you input some information and it'll tell you how much you're entitled to

Im astranged from parents and counted as astranged from them when i got my loan this year. so should be the same next year when i apply as i still am astranged from them.
i did the calculator thing but it said its not possible to give an estimation.

whoa 1700 isnt much though. because even though living with parents your still living in london which is usually the same as living out of london away from home isnt it??
my house next year is gonna cost about 3200 :s but i suppose with the bursary as well it averages out to about the same as if i was getting the government grant which im guessing you dont get if your getting nhs bursary?

The rate of loan this year is £2160 at the elsewhere rate, it will be a little bit more for 2007/08.
Try www.nhsstudentgrants.co.uk for more information on the bursaries. You only get the student loan if you are entitled to apply for a means-tested bursary (which is a much lower amount than what you have quoted). If you get a non-means tested bursary, then you will not get the student loan.
I don't know which you will get, because I am in Wales, and Welsh courses often attract different nhs bursaries than the equivalent English courses. But the website will confirm for definite.

I've tried the NHS Bursary website but can't get what I want out of it - lots of degree v. diploma blurb though & case studies of people doing degrees as matures!
Do you also get a student loan to make up the bursary to the amount of support you normally get...? & is it means tested like the additional 25% of student loan?

Thanks for trying to help, Jackie... still slightly confused though.
I get more student loan than that at the moment. 
Possibly due to long terms?
I'll be a 5th year Medical Student next year - so applying for a means tested NHS Bursary (away from home, outside of London).
Do you have any idea how much is the maximum they give you?
Or more approximately - if you're means tested & in the lowest income band does it replace the amount of loan entirely - or is it only ever a contribution...? If you were means tested & has a massive income would you get £0 bursary or is everyone on a sliding scale somewhere?

Cleverly I was trying to hunt for explanation in the text & hadn't looked for an obvious link like 'Bursary Calculator' - thank you.

Basically, you either get a means-tested bursary or a non means-tested bursary.
If you get the means-tested bursary, it is calculated from parental income. It's not a huge amount even if you get the maximum. If parents are on a large income you wouldn't receive any of the bursary. You would still be entitled to the reduced rate of student loan. For 2006/07 the elsewhere rate of this was £2160.
If you get the non-means tested bursary you are not entitled to the student loan or any other help from your LEA. But the bursary is not dependent on income, so even if your dad is Richard Branson, you would still get the full bursary. This bursary is more than the means-tested bursary and is around the £6K mark (or just under).
Bursaries are usually paid monthly over 12 months into your bank account. Courses that attract an nhs nursary usually have the fees paid by the nhs also, regardless of income.
I hope that makes more sense than my previous post, which I don't think has been interpreted how I meant it to be.
