    I'm thinking of applying for a PGDE, i was on BTEA for my undergraduate degree which i just finished. I will be entitled to BTEA as stated on studentfinance , but i am wondering if the Back to education allowance will pay the fee of the graduate diploma in education as i don't qualify for the susi special rate grant?

    No

    BTEA doesnt pay the fees - you can get a fee grant of 2000

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
