What am I entitled to-very confused!

Madwife216

Hi, I am very confused, I am due to start Uni this Sept. The course is NHS funded so I don't need to worry about course fees (phew) but I still don't know what else I can apply for. I am a mature student and married.
I have applied for a student loan but I didn't include my husbands income? Should I have done this? I have been told (although it is not for certain) I can apply for an NHS Bursary. Is there anything else I can apply for?

Please help im sooooo confused.

I find it very odd that you did not include your husbands income
all of the student finance forms I have seen and completed on behalf of my son ( yes, I know, it IS his responsibility - but at least this way I know it gets completed correctly!)
have asked for information about partners income and household income

you can certainly claim for an NHS bursary - you need to go to the NHS Bursaries information page to complete the application - but you MUST give information on your total household income.

Probably because students obtaining NHS support cannot be income assessed by SFE?

Is it a degree level course? If it is you are entitled to a means tested NHS bursary, you will have to supply your husband's income details, and a reduced rate non income assessed Student Loan.

If its a diploma, you will be entitled to a higher rate, non income assessed NHS bursary and no loan.

You've left it quite late to get all this figured out, and wasted your time filling in a meaningless application, sorry.
