PMT Education began as a website for students to access physics and maths resources for free. Today, we offer a wide range of educational resources across multiple subjects. We believe that by offering resources for free, we are helping students of all abilities and backgrounds achieve the grades they need to succeed, whatever their ambitions.
PMT Education has developed a range of revision courses to help students reach their full potential. We recognise that these courses are not free, but we do not want cost to prevent students from accessing the support they need. For this reason, we have established a GCSE and A Level bursary scheme, awarding free places on our courses to students from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds.
We reserve two free places on every course for students who apply through our GCSE and A Level bursary scheme.
Once applications have closed, we assess all eligible applications using the criteria laid out below, shortlist the applicants who have impressed us most, and select those who will be awarded the bursary places.
We also have a waiting list of applicants. If any places remain unbooked after the course booking deadline, we contact students on the waiting list to offer them a place.
Eligibility CriteriaTo apply for a bursary place:
You must also meet at least one of our bursary eligibility criteria. Check the criteria below and the supporting documents you will need to include in your application.
Please ensure that you send us the correct pages of your supporting documents as evidence or your application will be rejected.
You can apply for a maximum of three courses in each course season. Please fill out a separate application form for each course you apply for. You can apply using the form at the bottom of this page.
Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.
Please note: We don’t look at applications or decide who to give places to until after the application deadline.
We aim to contact students with the outcome of their bursary applications within a few days of the application deadline, so please keep an eye on your emails, including your junk or spam folder.
If you are awarded a bursary place, your offer email will include a booking window and a deadline by which you must book your place. If you do not book by this deadline, your bursary place will be offered to a student on our waiting list.
If you accept a bursary place, attendance on the course is mandatory. If you are unable to attend because of illness or other unavoidable circumstances, please let us know as soon as possible.
Students who do not attend a course and do not provide a reasonable explanation will not be considered for bursary places on future courses.
