Students Applying for a Bursary for the first time (Academic Year 2009 / 2010)

When you are applying for an NHS bursary for the first time, you will need to send in two pieces of evidence to confirm your identity, one of which must include a photograph of yourself - like a passport or a driving licence.  We will return your photo id and other documents as soon as they have been checked.

If you are going abroad in the next six weeks and intend to send in your passport to confirm your identity, please delay making your bursary application until you return from your trip.
