We have no plans to do so. Since September 2020, all eligible allied health profession students can apply for a non-repayable training grant of a minimum of £5,000 per academic year, with further financial support of £2,000 per academic year available for childcare, accommodation and travel costs. Podiatry students are also eligible for the Specialist Subject Payment of £1,000 per academic year.
