Applying for NHS bursary

[Ticktack]

How long you've lived here doesn't matter, it's what you're entitled to or not that matters.

Just to clarify, in this particular case, the length of the residence in the UK does matter.

Home Student status and student funding is available for non-UK/EEA citizens who have lived in the UK for more than half their lives (if they are between the age 18-24) or for more than 20 years (if they are over the age of 25) on the first day of the first year of their course.

So it is the length of their stay that makes the OP eligible for (not entitled to) the funding.

Agreed, but when I looked at this issue in-depth. The length of stay has to have been legal in it's entirety.

OP was an overstayer and was granted leave on partner 10 year basis. OP later changed it to 5 year route.
Let's say OP finished the first 2.5 years, the 4 years on current leave max. That's 6.5 years.

How does this now apply to the current mathematical calculation! Just pondering

You should ask yourself ok,if she was granted stay under 10yrs then changed it to 5yrs how long had she been here before she was granted stay?

Also Do you know that once you put in your application and HO acknowledges they have your application and they are processing it you are still legally allowed to work?No matter how many months they take to give you feedback?

That is the minimum residence requirement that applies for those who also meet the other requirements (such as being a British citizen, etc).

So, for instance, if you are a British citizen by descent and have lived abroad all your life, you can't arrive a month or so before the start of the course and get Home Student status. You would still be classified as an Overseas student, even though you were born a British citizen, because of this three year requirement.

So you need a minimum of three years residence in the UK AND may also need to meet other requirements, including longer periods of residence.
