Want to find out more?

Come along to one of our webinars where the Maths Scholarships Team will be live, talking about the Scheme and answering all your burning questions such as: how it is different to the government’s normal bursary for initial teacher training; what additional benefits do Maths Scholars receive as part of the Maths Scholarship; how can the Scheme help an ITT trainee during their initial teacher training year.

We will also be joined by a representative from an outstanding teacher training provider who will answer any questions concerning the process of applying to teacher training.  Please note that this advice is provided independently of any provider.

When are we Opening/Closing Applications?

We are currently working away behind the scenes getting ready to open applications, which will be in late 2021 or early 2022.  Keep an eye on our social media; Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, or on our website for updates.  If you would like to join our mailing list, then drop us an email at Scholarships@ima.org.uk.

The closing date will be confirmed once we have opened applications.  However, in previous years, we have received an overwhelming number of applications to the Maths Scholarships which led to the Scheme closing earlier than expected. Should this happen again, then we will close early so follow us on social media, or join our mailing list, to stay up to date with our news.

Interested?

In the meantime, more information about the Maths Scholarship can be found on our website, including full details of the application process.  We want to help you through the process of applying so you will also find blogs on how to submit a successful application, and writing a personal statement.  We also have blogs by our current, and past, Maths Scholars talking about their experiences as a mathematics trainee teacher or as a Maths Scholar.
