  • Tuition fee loans: Cover up to £9,535, paid directly to you by Student Finance England.
  • Maintenance loans: Up to £13,022 to help with living costs.

You will have to repay loans once you are earning over the salary threshold. More information about tuition fees and maintenance loans can be found on the Get into Teaching website.

Bursaries and Scholarships

You may be eligible for a bursary or scholarship when training to teach. These are tax-free amounts of money you receive to train in certain subjects and do not need to be paid back. Bursaries and scholarships are paid in 10 equal instalments over the duration of the programme.

Bursaries for 2025/2026. Further information on the scholarships available and eligibility criteria can be found on the Get into Teaching website.
