Honours Degree student nurses receive assistance towards their living costs by way of a means-tested NHS bursary (which does not need to be repaid) and a non-means-tested student loan, in roughly equal proportions.Students studying other disciplines in Scotland get living cost support mainly through a (partly) means-tested loan, although students under 25 may be eligible for a new non-repayable Young Students' Bursary in the forthcoming academic session.Both types of students have their fees paid and may be eligible to apply for supplementary allowances which do not have to be repaid.
