New NHS Bursary applicants (Medical and dental students only)
If you are eligible, your first bursary payment will be credited to your bank account within 10 working days, providing your application was submitted within the published deadlines.
Continuing NHS Bursary applicants
Payments will continue to be made into your bank account on the third Friday of each month provided you remain eligible and you have met the application deadlines.
Applications submitted after the deadline
If you miss your application window deadline, we'll assess your application as quickly as possible (within 35 working days) but there may be a delay to your payments.
Any back payments that you’re owed will be made on the next available payment run. These take place on a weekly basis to ensure students receive their bursary payments as soon as possible.
In all cases, NHS Bursary applications, including any requested supporting documentation, must be submitted within nine months of the first date of your academic year at the latest.
View your payments
You can view your bursary entitlement and payment dates for the academic year in the 'Payment' section of your BOSS account.
