Hi - can anyone please tell me if this is right? I'm currently working out whether or not I can actually afford to go to university to study midwifery. I know that I would receive a NHS grant of £5,000 plus £1,000 towards childcare. I assumed though that I would also be able to apply for the full maintenance loan, but have just seen this on this website:
Along with the NHS bursary, students can apply for a reduced rate maintenance loan to supplement your income: in 2020–21, £3,451 in London, £2,458 outside London and £1,845 for home
If this is right and the maintenance loan is only £2,458 then this means student midwives and nurses would be worse off than someone doing a non-NHS-funded degree and getting the full maintenance loan - is that right? I appreciate you don't have to pay the grant back, but that doesn't seem right. So my question is would I still receive the full maintenance loan on top of the NHS grant, or is it reduced as above?
Thanks in advance.

Students who receive the old NHS Bursary can only receive a reduced rate maintenance loan.
Students receiving the NHS grant can receive the full maintenance loan. The NHS Grant does not affect your SFE funding.
Thanks, Isaac
