The TDA scholarship fund for teachers was launched in June 2011, with the primary aim of supporting the professional development and extending the knowledge of teachers. The scheme is intended to be highly prestigious and enhance the perception that teachers make a valuable contribution to the intellectual life of the nation. The first round of the scholarship focuses on priority specialisms: Mathematics, English, Science and Special Educational Needs. The application window for round one is open to teachers from June to the end of September 2011 and applicants will be notified of the outcome in December 2011. There will be further rounds, but the dates have not yet been agreed.
