This bursary is for students on approved social work courses, to help with living costs and tuition fees.

The bursary amount is calculated by the NHS bursary team. More information is available at the NHS BSA website.

All bursary eligible students are also eligible for a placement travel allowance (PTA) of up to £862.50. Even if students are not allocated a capped bursary place, they may still receive PTA.

You can apply if you:
