The Welsh government has extended the NHS Wales Bursary scheme to provide financial support to healthcare students. Starting from the 2024-2025 academic year, eligible students will have access to the full amount of the maintenance loan in addition to the bursary. The scheme covers student nurses, midwives, and allied healthcare professionals who commit to working in Wales for up to two years after qualifying. Medical and dentistry students in their bursary years will also have access to the full maintenance loan. The extension includes students who reside in Wales but choose to study in other parts of the UK. The announcement provides certainty about bursary arrangements until 2025, allowing students and course providers to plan for the future. The Welsh government will consult on supporting healthcare students to ensure the continued attraction and retention of talent. The bursary scheme has been instrumental in helping individuals qualify and work in the healthcare sector, strengthening the workforce. The support given aims to remove financial barriers to studying in Wales and ensure a skilled medical workforce.
