Bursaries and scholarships - 2024-25
Bursaries and scholarships are tax-free amounts of money you may be eligible to receive to train in certain subjects. You do not need to pay them back.
You’ll need a first, 2:1, 2:2 degree or a PhD or master’s degree to be eligible for a bursary, as well as meeting the bursary scheme’s individual terms and conditions.
Scholarships have different eligibility criteria and are generally available to applicants with a 1st, 2:1, master’s or PhD, though may be awarded to a graduate with a 2:2 and significant relevant experience. They are awarded to high calibre trainees who pass a robust application and interview process, separate to the ITT application. If you qualify for a scholarship, you will not get a bursary.
The relevant scholarship body gives a package of additional benefits:
- tax-free scholarship
- membership to the professional body
- subject specialist events and webinars held by professional bodies
- online and face-to-face workshops across the country
- subject specialist mentors and coaching
- community of scholars (ex-scholars, teachers, subject leaders)
- access to classroom resources
- continuing professional development (CPD) and networking events during ITT year and Alumni
To apply for a scholarship, you should apply to the relevant scholarship body – for more details see below.
If you’re going to train as a languages or physics teacher in 2024-25, you do not need to be eligible for student finance to be eligible for a bursary or scholarship.
