EARN WHILE YOU LEARN

Want to go to college or sixth form before you join the Regular Army? The Further Education Bursary can help you. It is a yearly cash payment to help you meet the cost of your course. It gives you the chance to earn while you learn, and gives you plenty of opportunity to find out what Army life’s about before you head to Phase 1 training.

THE FURTHER EDUCATION BURSARY

The Army offers the Further Education Bursary programmes to people who want to get qualified before they join the Regular Army. Its aim is to support you while you’re at school or college and guarantee you a training place when you finish.

The bursary is worth £1000 for each year you study (up to 4 years), and a £1000 bonus when you complete Phase 1 training. It’s available for Level 2 or 3 vocational courses and A levels. To apply, you have to be aged between 16 and 32 years old.

During your course, your own Army Careers Adviser will give you support and advice. They can help you organise work experience or an Insight Course to see first hand what Army life is like.
