Loan

Hi there,
If you are getting an NHS bursary you would not be eligible for funding with Student Finance.
Thanks, Drew

Hi there,
What is the name of the funding that you get from the NHS? Is this for the 2025/26 academic year and what year of study are you in?
Thanks, Drew

The tuition funding is payed by health education England, it’s not a bursary, you are employed as a trainee clinical psychologist as a Band 6 employee.
Many dclin universities advertise that you can apply for doctoral loan funding alongside this as lots of trainees commute large distances as part of the course and undertake additional training in therapy modalities. Trainees have been successful in getting the loan, though only when their universities are aware of their eligibility for funding, some trainees have been unsuccessful when the people assessing the loan don’t have a knowledge of the course and the differences
Im in year two of my studies for 25/26, my university has it listed on student finance as their course approved list - I’d just like confirmation that if there were to be confusion over eligibility from my course, what student finances stance is
