To be eligible for a teacher training bursary you need to have an honours degree at 2:2 or higher, a master’s degree or a PhD. You will also need to meet the bursary scheme’s terms and conditions, including being eligible for Student Finance.
Maintenance Loans
You may be eligible for a maintenance loan to help with living costs. You can still apply for tuition fee loans and maintenance loans even if you already have a student loan. Receiving a bursary or scholarship does not impact on your eligibility for loans. You only make loan repayments once you are earning. Your loan payments DO NOT increase if you already have a student loan and then apply for funding for teacher training.
Support for Parents
If you have children or caring responsibilities, you may be able to get extra financial support through the following grants and schemes
– Childcare Grant
– Parents Learning Allowance
– Adult Dependents Grant
If you have a Disability
You may be able to get support if you are a student and you are disabled, have a learning difficulty or health problems
In all other subjects, you are unlikely to get help funding your training unless you have permission to live permanently in the UK, for example, under the EU Settlement Scheme. You would also need to meet other eligibility requirements.
