I am also starting a course this year that is NHS funded.Basically it means that the NHS pay tution fees and you get a bursary,either means or non means tested depending on the course and where you will be studying that is non repayable and you can use for anything,accommodation etc.You are not eligible for a student loan or maintenance grant if you receive a bursary.

I is a speech therapy course. Do you know how much the bursary would be?

If the busary is NOT means-tested then it will be about �500 a month.
Is it a degree or diploma? Generally bursaries for degree courses are tested on the household income and are about �3000 a year.
