PGCE and School Direct (non-salaried)
The UK government offers bursaries and scholarships to students who want to study on a postgraduate teacher training course in England that leads to a qualified teacher status (QTS).
Bursaries and scholarships are not available for every subject. You can check whether your subject qualifies by checking the Get into teaching website.
The amount you can get will depend on the undergraduate degree you hold and the subject your PGCE focuses on.
You cannot receive both a bursary and a scholarship. If you are eligible, you do not need to pay it back.
The payments are paid in 10 monthly instalments. If you have any queries please submit a case through the Student Hub online portal
For more information about funding options, please email the Student Funding Advice team via the Student Hub portal.
