There are three types of funding available for teacher training – depending on your circumstances, you could receive all three:
Are you passionate about French, German or Spanish? You could receive a languages scholarship of £28,000 to train as a secondary teacher to inspire the next generation of young linguists.
The scholarship provides the most gifted languages graduates with the chance to start an exciting language teaching career in England.
In addition to the financial support, you will receive access to a range of professional development networking opportunities and mentor support. As well you’ll be joining a community of high-flying language enthusiasts.
Please note scholarships are awarded in place of a bursary.
To be eligible to apply you should have, or be predicted to achieve, a minimum of a 2:1 in a French, German or Spanish degree and meet the criteria at https://www.gov.uk/student- finance/who-qualifies.
Candidates with 2:1 degrees in other subjects who demonstrate excellent language skills and significant knowledge may also apply.
Candidates with a 2:2, or predicted 2:2 degree in the language, a relevant PhD or Master’s degree, or recognised equivalent and substantial relevant experience, may also be considered in exceptional circumstances.
You should also be in an eligible non-salaried route into teaching by September 2020. You do not need this to be secured to apply for the scholarship.
