Postgraduate Grants/Funding

I’d like to study a PGdip nursing course and trying to find out what funding is available?

What help is out there for mature students with children under the age of 4? I can JUST afford the course with the NHS LSF fund but full time nursery fees would kill me financially.

Hi Aimee,

Can you confirm your course name and university you're studying with? When does the course start? How long is your course?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi Aimeepgdip,

We do not offer funding for Postgraduate Diploma courses - it would need to be a full standalone Masters course to be eligible for funding.

Thanks,
