BSc Nursing tuition funding

I’m starting a nursing degree in September. Does anyone know if tuition fees will be funded by a direct payment by the NHS to the university or, whether it’s just a straightforward SLE loan? I’ve found conflicting advice online.

Hi there,

Just to confirm, what is the course you are studying (the full name and university) and will you be in receipt of the NHS bursary? Thanks, Jason

I’ve applied for SLE finance. Had to use the paper form because I have PGCE/QTS. I’m under the impression that I need to wait until that’s been granted before I can apply for the bursary?

Thanks. So you apply to us at SFE for the fees and we then pay these to the university. Thanks, Jason

So does that mean, no, there is no NHS funding, it’s just an SFE loan?

There is an NHS grant that you can apply directly to them for. That funding isn't through us so the NHS grant doesn't affect your entitlement as it's a different source of funding. Thanks, Jason

You apply to the NHS Learning Support Fund for the annual training grant if you are going to study at a uni in England.
