The NHS bursary application window for the 2016 academic year is still open and therefore figures are not yet available.
The figures are based on the postcode of the student at the time of their application. These also include students who are in receipt of a monthly bursary and those who receive tuition fees only and no annual payment for day to day living costs (either because they have chosen not to declare income or because of income assessment).
