Alumni PGCE Bursary Award

The University of Northampton Alumni PGCE Bursary Award is a £500 cash payment available to students who completed their undergraduate degree at the University of Northampton and are enrolling on a full-time PGCE Primary QTS 5-11 or PGCE Primary QTS 3-7 course in 2025/26. This is a non-repayable bursary that does not affect the payment of a student's maintenance loans. The bursary is paid in two equal instalments of £250 during the academic year. Students must remain fully enrolled and attending their course to receive each instalment. Payment is made through the Student Loans Company to the bank account provided for maintenance loan payments. There is no separate application procedure as the University identifies eligible students from its records. Students who qualify may also be eligible for the University of Northampton income-assessed bursary, the Northampton Bursary.
