NHS funding for students starting their studies in September 2022 has not yet been announced so the information below is provided for guidance and is for 2021 entrants. Please see the NHS BSA website which will be updated with information for September 2022 as soon as it becomes available. Students on pre-reg Healthcare courses such as Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Social Work courses may benefit from additional funding from the NHS:
• Learning Support Fund (not applicable for Social Work) for help with travel expenses and Childcare
• Social Work bursaries for students in year 2 and 3 of their course Important considerations
• If you are currently in receipt of means tested benefits including Universal Credit, Housing
Benefit and Tax Credits you must tell the benefit provider that you are a full-time or part-time student. The amount of benefit you receive may well be affected by any funding you are eligible to receive.
• Due to the nature of the Nursing, Social Work and Health Profession courses, it is not always possible to maintain part-time work alongside studies, particularly when on placement.
• We recommend that you plan your finances accordingly. • Please contact studentsandmoney@winchester.ac.uk for guidance.
