Finance for Bsc occupational therapy course

I am from Northern Ireland and am applying for occupational therapy in Northumbria, Glasgow Caledonian, university of Liverpool and Ulster university.
I’m aware that there are no fees for this course in Ulster university. I was just wondering what finance options are available for the likes of the other unis I’m applying to.
Is their certain burserys or grants that are available that don’t need paid back like the Ulster course?
Thank you in advance

There is a nhs learning support fund for specific healthcare students including OT students you get a £5000 bursary that doesn’t need to be paid back but it depends on if your eligible most likely you will be plus you can claim back on travel and accommodation costs (double check what the nhs say on the learning support fund website)

The NHS Learning Support Fund is only open to students who study courses in England, so Glasgow wouldn't be covered. You also have to be eligible for student finance from your own funding body before you can apply for it.

Is there anything available for Glasgow?

I'm not aware of anything. You would need to investigate what you are eligible for from SFNI.
