Give residents with FLR (FP) status access to home fees for health degrees

Closed 44 signatures

What the petition asks

Kindly grant residents who are currently living in the UK for 3 continuous years holding FLR (FP) and want to study at Degree-level nursing, midwifery, and any allied health courses at university, opportunities to pay fees as “home students” in order for them to get support from student finance.
People are struggling financially and many private loan companies will not be lending now, making it difficult for residents with FLR (FP) who have been given university offers to study nursing, midwifery, and any allied health courses to fund their studies. This will result in both declining and missing opportunities to be useful in contributing positively to society. Residents who are required to pay international fees will NOT be entitled to the NHS £5000 as promised to all nursing students.
