Nursing and Midwifery Discretionary Fund
The Nursing and Midwifery Discretionary Fund is allocated by Scottish Ministers and is intended to help eligible students who are in financial difficulty to attend their programme of study. Awards can be made to assist UK nursing students with general living costs, accommodation, essential course costs and, in some circumstances, help towards childcare costs.
