Bursary payments and maternity leave

[Aeron]

Does anyone know if, hypothetically , a student on maternity leave doesn't go back to uni do they have to pay back the bursary they received while on leave? I heard something like you had to go back for at least three months or pay back your bursary. This is in Scotland.

Thanks

Q.What happens if a student decides not to return to training following a period of maternity absence?
A.The student must contact her university immediately. The university will inform the NHS Student Bursaries using the relevant form BUR101W. The student must also contact the NHS Student Bursaries, in writing, informing them that she does not intend to resume training. The student will not currently be required to repay any monies legitimately received throughout the period of authorised maternity absence.

Hope this helps

Must be an Englandshire thing as I found out a few weeks ago that you would have to pay it back, and that should you restart the course again you will have to pay tuition fees (which we don't have to on any course here and would receive no bursary for whatever years we had previously taken.
