Postgraduate teaching bursaries and scholarships are only available for the subjects listed below. You cannot receive both a teaching bursary and a scholarship.

You must be eligible for student finance in order to receive a bursary or scholarship (unless your training to teach physics or languages).

You cannot receive a scholarship or a bursary if your teacher training course is salaried.

 

 

You do not need to apply for a bursary. If you are eligible, you'll automatically receive it.

To be eligible for a bursary, you'll need at least one of the following:
  • A Bachelor's degree class 2:2 (honours) or higher
  • A Master's degree
  • A PhD

If your course combines two subjects (for example, English and History) at least 50% of your course content must be made up of the bursary subject to be eligible. You'll also need to meet the bursary scheme's individual terms and conditions.

 

To be eligible for a scholarship, you'll need at least one of the following:

  • A Bachelor's degree class 2:1 (honours) or higher
  • A master degree
  • A PhD

In exceptional circumstances, if you achieved a 2:2 in your degree you may still be awarded a scholarship if you have significant relevant experience.

 

Scholarships are offered by independent institutions. They set their own eligibility criteria and you'll need to apply through the relevant Scholarship Body.

If you're disabled, have a mental health condition or have educational needs, you can get support to become a teacher.

You can apply for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) to cover the study-related costs you have because of a mental health problem, long-term illness or disability.

You'll get confirmation of whether your application has been successful within 6 weeks.

it can take up to 14 weeks to get your DSA support, so you should take this into consideration if you need this in place for when you start the course.
