Bursaries available for veterinary nursing students
Aspiring students who want to study to become veterinary nurses are being offered bursaries by Central Qualifications.
The professional education body is offering the bursary scheme to students undertaking CQ veterinary nursing diplomas at approved training centres in the UK from September.
The scheme is designed to meet costs such as tuition fees, learning resources and travelling expenses – and/or to help further their learning.
The CQ educational bursary is available to all students set to enrol for the Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (Small Animal/Equine), as well as for the newly developed Diploma in Animal Nursing and Diploma for Veterinary Nursing Assistants.
A number of bursaries to the value of £500 are awarded each academic year.

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
