Funding and finance for ITT
Fees

Student finance

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.
