Funding Your Training
Training with the Red Rose Alliance means you’ll gain a PGCE with the University of Cumbria alongside Qualified Teacher Status. Tuition fees for 2025/26 are £9,535, and most trainees choose to cover this through a tuition fee loan and, if eligible, a maintenance loan to help with living costs — both available via Student Finance.
On top of this, generous tax-free bursaries and scholarships are available for priority subjects such as maths, physics, chemistry, computing and languages. You don’t need to apply separately — eligibility is checked when you apply. To explore the latest bursary amounts and scholarships, visit Get Into Teaching – Funding and Support.
