<p>Initial teacher training (ITT) providers are responsible for the management and
administration of bursary payments, including assessment of eligibility. Trainees
do not need to apply for a bursary and will automatically receive this from their
ITT provider if eligible.</p><p>The undergraduate veteran teaching bursary is paid
over the final two years of the course, with £20,000 payable in each year. In the
2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years, five individual trainees received the undergraduate
veteran teaching bursary, three of whom received a bursary in both years. Figures
may be subject to change due to ongoing data collection and assurance.</p><p>The department
supports veterans into teaching in primary, secondary, and further education through
its broad support services and bursaries. Since the publication of its commitments
in the ‘Veterans Strategy Action Plan 2022 to 2024’, the department has tailored support
and communications for the veteran community including dedicated teacher training
advisers, webpages, case study blogs on the ‘Get Into Teaching’ website and information
in Civvy Street publications. More information from Get Into Teaching is available
