Find out how we process your application and when you’ll get your bursary payments.
After you have submitted your application and supporting information, we aim to respond to your application within 25 working days.
When you’ll get your bursary
New NHS Bursary students (Transitional Arrangements):
Your bursary payment will go into your bank account details within 10 working days after we have received notification from your university that you have enrolled on your course and attended your first day.
Continuing NHS Bursary students:
Payments will continue each year provided you have met the application deadlines. Payments are made into your bank account monthly on the third Friday of each month.
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 so your overall annual bursary entitlement will not be affected.
We must receive your bursary application, including all your supporting information, within nine months of the first date of your academic year.

You'll be able to have a look at your bursary entitlement and payment dates for the academic year in the Payment Section of your BOSS account.
