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 International Graduate Scholarship
The International Graduate Scholarship offers a 30% fee discount to graduates of the University of Northampton who studied on campus in the UK. This scholarship is available to you if you are wishing to study a Master’s course and have achieved a second class degree from a three or four year Bachelor’s degree. Top Up graduates with a second class degree will also be eligible for 30% graduate scholarship.

Government Scholarship Schemes
We are a proud participant in a number of UK and overseas government scholarship schemes. These schemes, including the Chevening Scholarship, Commonwealth Scholarship and Marshall Scholarship (this scholarship is aimed at students from the USA only), 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.
The UK Government website also offers guidance on postgraduate scholarships currently available to international students.
