Scholarships Programme
What is it?
The BEET and ITTC Scholarship Programme is designed to help people from certain parts of the world affected by disaster and for people who might not otherwise be able to afford a course of studies in the United Kingdom. Scholarships are awarded both to students and teachers of English.
Scholarships for Students (BEET): These are normally for a two or four-week course in General English, to be taken at any time except July and the first two weeks of August, also the Christmas/New Year holiday, when the school is closed for 2 weeks. Each award is for the cost of the course, all books and learning materials and for the homestay accommodation. Accommodation includes all meals except for lunches Monday to Friday, which can be bought cheaply in the school.
Scholarships for Teachers (ITTC): These scholarships are for qualified teachers, who would like to attend a Refresher Course in Language and Methodology. The courses will be for two to four weeks, and will normally be offered for the January/February period. Teachers can also obtain scholarships by bringing a group of students to study at BEET. For full details, please consult a participating agent.
Not included are return flights to England, transfers to and from the school and pocket money for local transport, lunches, snacks, entertainment etc.
How does it work?
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of a written justification in three parts:
1) Why do you think you should receive a scholarship?
2) Why do you need to come to the United Kingdom to study?
3) How do you intend to use your new knowledge?
The questions are not a test of English. We shall be looking for content, not quality of language. However, if you are a teacher, you will be expected to have good English. If you are a student of English, your level is not important. Even if your English level is low, use what you have to express your answers. If you need to get help from a friend, that is quite acceptable. Your answers should total between 500 and 700 words and be submitted to:

However, you can still enrol on a course at any time of the year, usually at a discounted price.
