Scholarships

For candidates who are passionate and strong in their subject teacher training scholarships are available in certain subjects. 

As well as financial support, as a scholar you’ll enjoy a range of prestigious benefits, including:

• free membership from the professional subject associations awarding the scholarship    
• access to resources and events to support you through your training
• support to improve your teacher practice and subject knowledge
• networking opportunities from a community of like-minded scholars   

Eligibility

To be eligible for a scholarship, you should have at least a 2:1 degree or above and want to teach chemistry, computing, geography, languages, maths or physics. You can still apply if you have a 2:2, but you’ll need to provide evidence of significant relevant experience. Scholarships are awarded in place of a bursary.

• computing: BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT
• chemistry: Royal Society of Chemistry
• geography: Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)
• languages: British Council

If you’re not successful in your application for a scholarship, and secured a place on a qualifying teacher training course in England, you’ll still receive the standard bursary – find out more about bursaries.
