In a statement, the country's Health Secretary, Alex Neil, said the review is necessary in order to ensure the process "continues to be fair" and "reflects the needs of today's students".
Currently in Scotland, the Nursing and Midwifery Student Bursary (NMSB) provides eligible students with a non-income assessed, and non-repayable, personal allowance of £6,578 a year, excluding additional allowances.
Health Secretary Alex Neil said: "Scotland's support package for nursing and midwifery students remains distinctive – the core bursary is not means tested or repayable – in stark contrast to the position in England.
"Though we believe we offer a good package for students, it is extremely important that nursing and midwifery continues to be an attractive area of study for our Scottish students. We understand that much of this depends on the support we have in place for those studying.
"Our intention this year is to review the funding package available to nursing and midwifery students, to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of Scottish nursing and midwifery students."
