New for 2026/27 entry is our Reading Excellence Scholarship for IFP and IFY students.

For January 2026 entry students, the Country Specific Scholarships are still available.

Once students are preparing to join their first year of undergraduate study, they can apply for the University of Reading Global Sustainability Leaders Scholarship, if eligible.

If you are paying international tuition fees and applying from one of the following countries, you are eligible for a discount on your International Foundation Pathways foundation year tuition fees.

The scholarship is automatically applied as a discount to the international tuition fees of eligible students for the foundation year only.

To receive the scholarship discount, you must accept your International Foundation Pathways offer and enroll in your chosen International Foundation Pathways course.

If you are a sponsored student and a separate discount on tuition fees has been agreed between the sponsor and the University of Reading, then only one discount or scholarship will apply, and this will be whichever discount is of the highest value.

BENEFIT:

A discount of £2,000 on your International Foundation Pathways foundation year tuition fees.
