FINANCIAL SUPPORT DURING RADIOGRAPHY TRAINING

Always check the latest regulations with the University

Funding for Radiography Training

In England and Wales funding is via a NHS Means-Tested Bursary. An application for a this bursary is normally made through the relevant university''s radiography education centre on behalf of the student.

Bursary funded places are limited therefore students are advised to make early application. Where bursaries are not available through the Department of Health, applicants should seek the advice of the university as to whether there are any alternative sources of funding

WHAT IS A MEANS-TESTED BURSARY?

A Means-Tested Bursary means that your income, or that of your spouse/parents will be taken into account, and the amount of the grant will be reduced in proportion of that income. Those claiming an NHS Means-Tested Bursary may also be entitled to apply for a Student Loan through their institute of higher education.

WOULD I BE ENTITLED TO A MEANS-TESTED BURSARY?

To be eligible for the NHS Means-Tested Bursary, applicant must have been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the 3 years preceding commencement of your course, and have settled status in the UK or be ordinarily a resident in any UK country by the first day of the programme.
