Interested in Computing? Want to apply for a teaching scholarship?

Since 2013 BCS (Chartered Institute for IT) has been working in partnership with the Department for Education to offer a teaching scholarship aimed at creating the next generation of Computing teachers for our secondary schools. To date, the scheme has proved a great success with more than 1000 applications over the four years it has been running!

Applications are welcome from both recent graduates or from those who may be considering a change of career. For recent graduates all we ask is that you have obtained a minimum of a 2.2 in a Computer Science or Maths degree, or another degree and are engaged upon a Computer Science Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course. You will also need to obtain, or go on to obtain a place on an ITT course leading to Computing/Computer Science initial QTS at secondary level in England.

Each scholarship is worth £27,500 (tax-free) with the funding supplied by the Department for Education, paid in instalments over the year whilst engaged in an initial teacher training (ITT) course leading to initial qualified teacher status (QTS) at secondary level. We will also provide Associate membership of BCS (AMBCS) free for the first year and run dedicated workshops to support our scholars.
