British Army Officer

[Username not found..]

Is it true that the army will help pay towards my university fees if I choose to become an Officer?

The army's actually cutting down its forces, and the govt is on a recruiting drive for the TA. I dont know if the army would take you on in the first place.

Im just thinking in advance, obviously its not gonna be for another 8 or 9 years, I mean in theory would they?

I know this is an old thread but no one has answered it so I'll quickly give it ago.

Essentially there is a thing called the army scholarships, more specifically army undergraduate Bursarys. These are worth between £6000 and £8000 which will cover the costs of tuition for many UK universities. This value also depends on the length of the course.You'll have to pass the Army's officer selection process to be offered the Bursary, and if successful you will be given a provisional place at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. You'll be expected to serve as a Regular Officer for at least three years.

Hope this helps.
