Funding and finance for ITT
Fees
Applicants will need to pay tuition fees to cover the cost of the course. Most providers charge £9,250. We are awaiting information about projected rises in fees and will publish any changes here when confirmed.
Student finance
All candidates from the EU are eligible for a tuition fee loan. In addition, candidates from the UK can also apply for a means-tested maintenance grant and a maintenance loan of up to £12,382 to help with living costs.
The Government's Get Into Teaching website offers further information about student finance, including a finance calculator to help estimate the potential grants and loans that may be available.
Use the student finance calculator on GOV.UK to find out how much funding you can get:
Bursaries & Scholarships
Some courses are eligible for a tax-free Government bursary as they are considered 'shortage areas' in teaching. If you are successful in gaining a place to train in one of these subject areas, your provider can apply for a bursary which you will then receive in monthly instalments for the duration of your training.
