Question:
Does anyone know of any grants available for studying Osteopathy?
I have recently accepted a place to study Osteopathy (Part time 5 year course) and was wondering if there may be any avenues for potential financial assistance that might be worth exploring?
I am in a position to fund the course myself (just about!), and I fully agree in the principal of investing in one's future, however, if there is any assistance out there then it would certainly be useful.
I have studied atdegree level before so the usual routes of undergraduate funding are not available.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello Mad Monk,
The only loan option for osteopathy seems to be a career development loan.
As you have chosen a part-time course you don't qualify for a student loan or local education authority help with fees,even if this is your first undergradate course.
you don't say where you have been accepted but some schools do have some HEFCE funding for their part time courses so you may be at one of those.

I suggest speaking to the college about as they should know of any possible funding options.
I suspect things have changed a bit since I was at college. The LEA authority grant at the time was 15% toward course fees and a maintainance grant for a full time course.
It'a long story, but I ended up having to take the LEA to court on the issue. Not helpful when your doing a degree.
