NHS Learning Support Fund for Adult Nursing

Whilst studying for a Bachelor’s degree in ‘BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult)’ at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield, you will receive a study grant of at least £5,000 per year (about 5,900 EUR). The grant is paid out in each year of the three-year degree programme and does not need to be repaid. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for further funding: £1,000 (approx. 1,180 EUR) for departments facing staff shortages, up to £2,000 (approx. 2,360 EUR) for childcare and up to £3,000 (approx. 3,540 EUR) from the Exceptional Hardship Fund if you find yourself in unexpected financial difficulties. This national NHS fund is in addition to your standard tuition fee and living costs loans from Student Finance England. It is extra money, not a replacement.
