National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS)

This year we are celebrating 10 years of the NTFS.

The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is applicable to those working in England and Northern Ireland. It is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland.


Individual Awards

Up to 50 awards of £10,000 are made to recognise individual excellence. The award is intended for Fellows' professional development in teaching and learning or aspects of pedagogy. Nominations are invited from eligible institutions in England and Northern Ireland.

Projects Strand

The NTFS project strand ran from 2007 to 2010. It was funded by Hefce as part of its approach to teaching enhancement. While HEFCE carries out a review of this area, no new NTFS projects will be funded. This does not affect current projects or the individual strand of the NTFS
