Scholarships at UON

We are committed to providing opportunities and rewards to the best and brightest applicants. With this in mind, we offer generous scholarship schemes that provide merit-based financial support for International students and EU-domiciled students.

“The University gave me a scholarship based on my academic achievements, it was certainly a great help and one of the biggest motivations for me to come to the UK to study as I came from a low-income family. The University of Northampton has plenty of opportunities and support to encourage young people to go to university.” – Khanh, Vietnam.

What scholarships we offer

The University of Northampton International Scholarship

The University of Northampton International Scholarship Scheme is a merit-based scholarship that provides up to a £4,000 reduction in tuition fees for every year of your study (excluding placement years). All full-time Undergraduate and Postgraduate taught courses delivered on campus fall within the scheme and you will be considered for a scholarship on the basis of your academic achievement.

You do not have to apply for this scholarship separately from your initial application and you will be informed of the outcome in your offer letter.

There is no limit to the number of awards, made automatically to students who qualify. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions below.

Eligibility Criteria
  • To be eligible for the University of Northampton International Scholarship, you must hold an offer to study a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate taught programme (BA, BSc, BEng, MEng, LLB, MA, MSc, LLM or MBA) at UON.
  • You must have been assessed as an overseas fee payer. For more detailed information on whether you fall into this category, please refer to the UKCISA guides to tuition fees.
Exclusions
  • UK and EU nationals who are eligible for a maintenance loan from Student Finance England will not qualify.
  • Students studying for a course validated by the University at a partner institution will not qualify.
Application Process
  • Scholarship awards are made in parallel with an application to study at the University.
  • Applicants are not required to make a separate application for a scholarship.
  • Scholarships are awarded based on the merit of each individual’s application and academic eligibility.
The Award
  • Any University of Northampton International Scholarship award offered will take the form of a £2,000, £3,000, or £4,000 reduction in the cost of tuition fees for the full length of the programme of study, with the exception of all Nursing programmes, where the maximum scholarship available is £2,000 for each year.
Acceptance
  • To accept a scholarship, a student must pay £7,000 of their first year tuition fee before being issued with a CAS and then the remainder (minus discounts and scholarships) in two instalments, depending on the start date of your course.
General Terms and Conditions
  • A change of course to another qualifying programme within the University of Northampton will not affect the continuation of the scholarship. However, if this results in an extra year’s study the scholarship will only be paid for the total length of the first programme they enrolled onto.
  • Students who do not satisfy the academic requirements to progress and are required to repeat a year (either full-time or part-time) or resit out of residence will not be eligible for a continuation of the award in the repeat/resit year.
  • In the case of deferral, withdrawal or restarting a programme, any award that has been offered will be withdrawn and must be re-applied for.
  • The University reserves the right to withdraw an award from anyone who is found to have misled the University about any aspect of their eligibility.
  • The University reserves the right to withdraw the scholarship award if you have any outstanding debt to the University.
  • In cases not covered by the above terms and conditions, or where a student claims exceptional circumstances, or disputes, the Chief Operating Officer or their nominee will decide on any variations to these terms and conditions, and their decision will be final.

We are a proud participant in a number of UK and overseas government scholarship schemes. These schemes, including the Chevening Scholarship and Commonwealth Scholarship, provide opportunities for students otherwise unable to afford the full costs of an overseas education. We are listed on a variety of overseas government sponsorship lists. If you are seeking to study with us under one of these schemes, check the Ministry of Education website for your home country for eligibility criteria.
