Student nurse and maintenance grant

Laura says

Hi all,
Not sure if anyone here has experience with this, but I am a student nursing going into 4th year and as part of the degree all final year student nurses are on a 9 month paid internship from january. have qualified for a maintenance grant every previous academic year.
I was just wondering, will this effect my qualification for the grant, and if so will I get a lesser amount of the grant.
Any experience with this is very welcome,
Thanks

Hi Laura scouring the net looking for an answer to your question as my daughter is a 3rd year student nurse. As you have now gone into 4th year do you know the answer now? Worried on her behalf as internship doesn't start until January so hoping you might be able to clarify so we can get finances in order for next year in case she is not entitled to the grant.

Thanks in advance

Did you ask susi?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in reply. To clarify, I did qualify for the maintenance grant, similar to previous years! The internship didn't affect my application .
Thankfully-Weight off my shoulders!
