Scholarships, grants and bursaries

NHS Bursaries are probably the most widely known, readily available and (at least as far as covering tuition fees is concerned) one of the most useful sources of financial support.

However, there are a range of other types of bursary, scholarship and award available. These include:

• Access Agreement Bursaries - non repayable bursaries, typically for £310 upwards(but can be for much more), for students receiving the full Maintenance Grant/Special Support Grant.
• Armed Forces Bursaries /Cadetships - these are generous and may be worth considering, provided you are happy to commit to an agreed number of years working as a doctor in the Army, Navy or Air Force.  
• Medical Awards and Competitions - of varying amounts and varying levels of competitiveness.
