If you are a home resident you may receive a training bursary.
The fees for Leeds SCITT PGCE course (including QTS and 60 masters credits) for the academic year which ranges from 2021 to 2022 is £9,250.
The Government provides incentivised monetary awards to encourage high quality candidates into the teaching vocation, which are called bursaries. Unlike student loans, a bursary is organised through your college or university and does not require you to repay the awarded amount.
If you are currently enrolled on a PGCE course you will not need to fill out an application to apply for a student bursary. The bursary you may be entitled to will depend on the subject you are studying and the undergraduate degree classification you have achieved.
The table below shows the bursaries and scholarships which are available for 2021 – 2022. For more information on bursaries for other subjects, please visit the Department for Education website.
There are three types of funding available for teacher training – depending on your circumstances, you could receive all three:
An overview of the bursaries and scholarships available can be found in the table below. You’ll need a first, 2:1, 2:2, PhD or Master’s to be eligible for a bursary or scholarship. Further information on funding options two and three can be found on the funding my training page. If you’re a non-UK EU national, you could also receive this support.
