Teacher training grant
If you undertake a full or part-time PGCE initial teacher training course in Wales, including programmes via the Open University, you may be eligible for a teacher training grant if you are studying a priority subject. How much you receive depends on your undergraduate degree classification, with bursaries of up to £20,000 available in 2021/22. The bursary rates for different subject and degree combinations vary each year, depending on the Welsh government’s priorities. Note: students with lower classifications, particularly third-class degrees, may not be entitled to a bursary at all. For the latest rates, see .
Students from the European Union (EU) are only eligible for these incentives if they are eligible to access student support (see
here).
The incentives are paid by the Welsh government to the provider, which then pays the relevant amount to eligible students on a monthly basis once they have enrolled and started their training.
