The British Army Further Education Bursary Scheme is available to students aged between 16-32 who wish to pursue a career in the Army. This new initiative financially rewards students for attending College, completing a relevant vocational qualification and pursuing a career in the Army at the end of their time at college.

The scheme will support learners who are undertaking full Level 2 programmes in a range of occupational sectors, such as Engineering, Construction, Catering, ICT, Administration, Sport and Public Services, as well as other areas where the Army have skills needs. The scheme is also available to a certain number of learners enrolled on Level 3 programmes.

Those selected will receive £1,000 for each year of their studies at College (subject to meeting commitments), then a further £1,000 upon completion of Army basic training.

Whilst at College, the Army will help prepare students with work experience and an Army contact as a mentor.
