Once you have an offer on a course, please apply for the scholarships via me@reading applicant portal. The scholarship application form will be accessible up until the closing date.

The award provides two awards of £10,000 (this is split with £5,000 as a tuition fee discount and £5,000 as a grant towards living expenses)

ELIGIBILITY:

New for students enrolling in the 2026/27 academic year, scholarships will be allocated automatically based on performance in your previous degree studies. To be awarded a scholarship, students must hold, or be expected to achieve, an undergraduate degree with a minimum UK Lower Second Class (or equivalent) standing. 

You don’t need to apply for this scholarship—eligible students are automatically awarded funding based on the information contained within their degree application. The notification of a scholarship will be contained within the letter offering admission to the university.

If your application was received prior to the launch of the 2026/27 Excellence Scholarships scheme and you have been offered admission for an eligible course, they will review your application and, if you satisfy the funding criteria, contact you with details of your award. Students applying for flexible learning/part-time modular courses are not eligible for the Excellence Scholarship.

BENEFIT:

Scholarships range in value from £2,000 to £7,000 depending on the strength of your academic record.
