You don’t need to apply for a bursary. If you are enrolled on a fee-paying course and meet the eligibility criteria we will sort this out. You will receive more information on the arrangements prior to the start of your course.
Tuition Fee Loan
You may be eligible for a tuition fee loan to cover the full cost of the tuition fees charged. You will need to apply for this loan online through Student Finance England. Even if you do not intend to take out a loan you will still need to apply to show eligibility for a bursary.
GITEP Trainee Teacher Fund
The trustees of Gloucestershire Association of Secondary Headteachers Ltd have established a fund to help trainee teachers who are experiencing financial difficulties. Any awards made do not have to be repaid. The fund is limited and discretionary and we cannot guarantee that an award will be made. Applications can be made at any point in the programme. With some subjects still ineligible for bursaries for the 2022/23 academic year we are aware that finance will be an issue for many trainees and the trustees of GASH Ltd have made available an amount that reflects this.
Council Tax
As a full time trainee you are able to apply directly to your local council for a council tax reduction/exemption. We will supply confirmation that you are eligible.
