Obtaining CPD Funding

Students applying to the School of Health Studies, may be eligible to have some of their courses, programmes and modules funded under the Yorkshire and Humber Strategic Health Authority education contract. However, not all courses, programmes and modules are funded by the contract. Where funding is available, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

We expect that many students will need to seek additional and alternative sources of funding to support part of, or all of, their course, programme and module.

To apply for CPD funding please provide a funding letter from your employer (on headed paper) stating that you are employed by your organisation and that they support your studies. Where you do have your employers support, we cannot always guarantee that you will be allocated a funding place for part, or all, of your studies.

Alternatively please use our SHA Funding form below and attach a compliment slip or stamp to verify.
