Alumni PGCE Bursary Award

The bursary will be paid in two instalments on the following dates:

£250 on 17 March 2025
£250 on 30 May 2025

To qualify for a 50% bursary payment on 17 March 2025 students must be fully enrolled and attending their course full-time on the first day of term two and liable for 50% of their fees at this point. To qualify for the second 50% bursary payment on 2025 students must be fully enrolled and attending their course full-time at the start of term three and therefore liable for 100% of their fees at this point. Students who have withdrawn from their course before these dates will not receive the relevant 50% payment.

Payment will be made through the Student Loans Company to the bank account provided for maintenance loan payments (if you are a self-funding student we will contact you asking you to provide your bank details).
