FIND OUT IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING

As part of the FA's continued drive to diversify the football workforce, they are continuing to provide partially funded places programme which will fund a proportion of your course fee.

For the first time this season, the FA will also be providing Chase fully funded places. This initiative has been created with the FA's partners at Chase to tackle financial barriers that hinder talented coaches by providing funding for those who need it most. If you are awarded a place on this programme, the full cost of your course will be funded by Chase. For more information click here.

Please be aware you must submit your course application separately. Your funding application will only be considered if you have completed both the UEFA A Licence application form and the funding eligibility form.
