In addition to the basic bursary and maintenance loan, you can also apply for a number of additional allowances if you meet specific criteria. These allowances provide support to disabled students and additional support for students with dependent adults and children. You will also be able to claim help with travel costs to your placements, if you incur additional costs to those incurred when travelling to university.
