I assume you are referring to applying for the NHS Learning Support Fund? To apply for the NHS LSF you need to be able to show that you are eligible for student finance even if you don't take it. Check the eligibility conditions for SFE to make sure that you could apply if you wanted to and then give you reason for not taking the loans (eg due to religion, etc.).
From the NHS LSF website:
Eligibility for NHS LSF
To apply for support, you need to be:
studying on an eligible programme at a university in England
eligible for tuition fees and maintenance support from the Student Loans Company, either through:
Student Finance England (SFE)
Student Finance Wales (SFW)
Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS)
Student Finance Northern Ireland (SFNI)
actively in study, whether academic or practice learning
Other arrangements are in place for those who may not apply for a loan due to personal reasons.
Those students must still show that they meet the eligibility criteria as defined by SFE, SFW, SFNI or SAAS, as applicable.

Hi, what you did at the end?
Did you manage to get NHS lsf without student loan?
I got the same email and I don't know what to do either.

Hi, would the reason impact if we actually get the grant or not? I am thinking of self funding whilst using the grant as I have enough from savings. Are we able to do this?

I don't know the answer to this so I'd recommend you contact the NHS LSF and ask if your circumstances would still permit you to claim the grant (they usually respond quite quickly). If you could update this thread when you get a response, that would be very helpful.

Thankyou for your reply. Yes, ill add to this thread if they respond to my question - I will also apply for SFE just in case and cancel it if my decisions change. Might possibly be able to use the SFE confirmation letter even if I don't end up taking the loan. Most of the websites and sources ive seen so far only indicate that we need to eligible and not that we need to take a loan out.

Hi, did you get a reply about LSF without SFE? I’m in the same boat

Hey, I was just wondering if you've got any updates? I still need an enrolment letter from my university to submit to lsf
