Petition Make foreign students living in the UK for five years eligible for NHS LSF

Many foreign students are not entitled to student loans which means they are automatically not entitled to the NHS Learning Support Fund. We believe this is not fair as foreign students have the same amount of placement hours in the NHS as students who do qualify for support.

More details

Foreign students have the same subjects/placement hours required in a healthcare course. We are all required to achieve the same thing in order to get the degree. It is not fair that foreign students cannot access the NHS LSF because they are not eligible for student finance. We want foreign students who have been residing in the UK for over 5 years to be able to access the NHS LSF bursary just because they do not qualify for student loans. Please make a change and help us have a smooth journey as students.
