It is the second year of the £2 million National Scholarship Fund and the grants have been extended to SEN support staff for the first time.
The funding is aimed at supporting professionals with CPD across the core subjects and SEN.
The Department for Education (DfE) has announced that around half of the teacher and SEN support staff applicants were successful.
In total, 387 teachers and 274 support staff have won funding. Of the teachers, 35 of the successful applications were for English, 101 for maths and 15 for science.
Applications included a teacher wanting to take master’s qualifications in maths education and another in Victorian literature. A third applicant wanted to study towards a PGCE in astronomy and astrophysics while another was taking a Level 7 Diploma in specific learning difficulties and dyslexia.
