Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what sources of funding are available to students who wish to pursue osteopathy courses.

Mr. Boswell

Students on designated full-time first degree and equivalent level courses in osteopathy are eligible for a mandatory award and a student loan on the terms prescribed in the relevant regulations. Other students may apply to their local education authority for a discretionary award, the availability and amount of which is for the authority to determine.
