Nhs lsf 2024
Hii, i was speaking to my tutor about sfe and she mentioned I would be able to get the NHS bursary but didn’t tell me much more so I did more research and I’m struggling to see how I would qualify with my course? I’m only seeing it available for medicine and dentistry but I’ll be doing diagnostic radiography. Does anyone have more information thank you

The NHS LSF is only available if you will be studying at a uni in England. If you want to study in Wales, then you can apply for the NHS Wales bursary. Currently, diagnostic radiographers are eligible for an annual training grant of £5,000 per year plus an extra specialist subject payment of £1,000 per year. You will also be able to claim back travel and accommodation expenses associated with placements. For students starting in Sep/Oct 2024, applications will open in March 2024 and you apply directly to the NHS LSF (not your student loan body). If you're already studying DR, you have to apply within six months of the start of your course.

Hi,
You should be eligible for the NHS Learning Support fund which is a £5000 non-repayable bursary given to students studying healthcare in England and radiography falls under this bursary. It is given over 3 instalments each year of study,
I hope this is of some assistance,

Applications are open now for the NHS LSF (the NHS bursary is a different thing for medics and dentists). You need to have applied for student finance first and have decided your firm uni. If you haven't done that yet, then don't rush in to it. My DD only applied for the NHS LSF after her A levels and it was processed quite quickly.

The website states that:
Other arrangements are in place for those who may not apply for a loan due to personal reasons.
There is a link to an online form on the following webpage where you can enquire about this:

Can I ask, did your daughter apply after A level results day? Just wondering what happens if apply earlier than this naming your firm uni, what happens if don't get in?
She applied in the summer hols before results day but she did get into her firm. The first NHS LSF instalment is only paid around November so there is plenty of time for a change of uni to be processed.

it asks for confirmation that you're studying at the uni. how do you get that if you apply before your course has started?

I'm not sure tbh. My DD just put in the uni she had firmed and she wasn't asked for documentary evidence. The uni is required to confirm attendance on the course to the NHS LSF around the beginning of November and the payment is made later that month.

Yes, you'll get £6000 for studying diagnostic radiography each year + a bursary from your university each year if you're eligible.
Its called the training grant on the NHS website:
Training Grant | NHSBSA
I would recommend using it towards your tuition fees.

Hi, do you know if the NHS LSF or NHS bursary is required to be repayed, or just a bursary you are eligible to?
