Question:
Answer:
Yes — it is possible to find fully funded or stipend-paying opportunities to study pedagogy or education online, but they are rare compared to free-tuition scholarships.
There are three main funding types you can aim for:
1. Fully Funded Online Scholarships (No Tuition Fees)
These cover all course costs but do not usually pay you a monthly salary. Examples:
- Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships – Fully funds online master’s in education/pedagogy from UK universities.
- University of the People (USA) – Tuition-free online degrees in Education, with scholarships to cover small exam fees.
- Coursera & edX Financial Aid – Covers 100% tuition for relevant pedagogy/education courses.
2. Funded Fellowships with a Stipend
Some fellowships offer both online learning and a stipend for living expenses, especially if you do a project in your community:
- Echoing Green Fellowship – For education innovators (can be combined with online study).
- UNESCO Fellowships – Sometimes support online teacher training with living stipends if tied to a project.
- Teach For All Partner Fellowships – May fund education studies while you work in teaching roles.
3. Employer-Sponsored Study
If you are already teaching or working in education:
- Your employer, an NGO, or a local government program might pay your salary while you study online.
- Some international NGOs like Save the Children or World Vision sponsor teachers for online pedagogy courses.
✅ Reality Check:
For most online-only pedagogy courses, you will get your tuition covered rather than being paid a monthly salary. If you want both tuition and a stipend, you usually need:
- A fellowship or research-based program.
- A course that combines study + community project work.
- An employer or NGO partnership.
If you want, I can prepare a list of online pedagogy/education scholarships and fellowships in 2025 that either fully fund your course or also provide a stipend.
Do you want me to prepare that list for you?
Is it possible to be paid for online course of pedagogy in education?
