Scholarship funding eligibility

For the Autumn 2024 cohort there has been a change to DfE funding and scholarships are limited to a number of funded spaces nationwide.

  • All maintained schools in England are eligible for limited scholarships for:
    • NPQ for SENCOs, NPQH, and EHCO.
  • Only the top 50% of maintained schools in England with the highest percentage of pupil premium enrolments are eligible for limited scholarships for:
    • NPQLT, NPQLBC, NPQLTD, NPQLL, NPQEYL, NPQSL, NPQEL.

The option for schools to self-fund any of the above NPQs is also available as well as our dual qualification Leaders Apprenticeships with NPQs, which can be funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.
