Access to HE students looking to take a degree in nursing, midwifery and many allied health courses will benefit from additional help with living costs from a re-introduced bursary scheme from September 2020. Students will receive a guaranteed £5000 per year (with a further £3000 per year available for eligible students).
The funding will not have to be repaid by recipients. Students will also be able to continue to access funding for tuition and maintenance loans from the Student Loans Company.
