Eligible for Postgraduate Loan and NHS Learning?

Hello,

I am studying for an MA in Social Work full-time. I have applied for a Postgraduate loan which is yet to be approved. Am I eligible to apply for the NHS learning support fund as well?

Social work isn't one of the courses the NHS LSF supports. The following is quoted from the NHS LSF website:

"You can apply for NHS LSF if you're on one of the following pre-registration undergraduate or postgraduate courses:


dental therapy or dental hygiene (level 5 and 6 courses)
dietetics
midwifery
nursing (adult, child, mental health, learning disability, joint nursing, and social work)
occupational therapy
operating department practitioner (level 5 and 6 courses)
orthoptics
orthotics and prosthetics
paramedics (DipHE and FD courses are not eligible for NHS LSF)
physiotherapy
podiatry or chiropody
radiography (diagnostic and therapeutic)
speech and language therapy

I don't want to appear rude but social work is definitely covered, the quote you posted literally says social work with the brackets next to nursing. However for the OP you cannot receive the postgraduate loan AND the LSF, its one or the other.
