SCITT
SCITT candidates are student teachers. This means they have the same status as students at Universities even though they have selected this more school based route. Mid Essex applicants will be expected to pay fees of £8,500 but may apply for a loan to cover this from the Student Loans Company. They may also apply for a means tested maintenance grant and maintenance loan. This needs to be done via the SLC website direct by the applicant.
Some candidates for teacher training receive an additional bursary to help them. This is dependent on the secondary subject and the class of their degree.
Further details of current bursary levels can be found on the Department for Education website:
