Fees

Funding is available to help you train to teach. You may be eligible for a student loan to cover the cost of your tuition fees or to help with your living costs.

You can still apply for a tuition fee loan and a maintenance loan if you also get a teaching bursary or scholarship or if you’ve previously applied for and received a student loan.

You’ll only have to make loan repayments once you’re earning.

You do not need to wait until you have a confirmed offer for a teacher training course to apply for student funding.
