Army Further Education (FE) Bursary Scheme
What is the Army FE Bursary?
The Army has teamed up with Newcastle-under-Lyme College to offer the Army FE Bursary Scheme. You get £1000 while you're at college, then join the Army after the end of the course, where you'll train for a job and start an exciting career. Once you have completed Army training, you'll qualify for a further £1000.
What courses are covered?
There are a range of vocational courses at the College the Army is supporting. All the courses will give you a fully recognised qualification and the basics you need for a job in the Army. You could choose a course in IT, Engineering, Public Services, Health and Social Care, Business, Construction or Sport.
