We are committed to providing opportunities for English language teachers to access world-leading continuing professional development opportunities and reach their fullest potential.
To support this, we are offering fully-funded scholarships from the University of Stirling and University of Portsmouth for English Teachers and/or Teacher Educators from India in this year 2025-26. These scholarships are open to individuals working in or with the government schools sector, who have not previously received a scholarship to study at a UK university.
These scholarships are a great opportunity for teachers who are unable to spend a year in the UK doing a face-to-face course. The option of studying for the online courses includes a two-week fully funded residential visit to the universities as part of the programme.
The scholarship will cover the following:
- One successful IELTS exam costs
- Tuition fees
- Stipend for living expenses while in the UK
- Flights and connecting travel to the UK
- Visa costs
Additionally, successful scholars will form a network and benefit from ongoing engagement with the British Council and each other to support the teaching and learning of young people in India, during and after completing the programme.
