Scholarship Funding for NPQs
The DfE have changed the scholarship criteria for the Autumn 2024 cohort. Whilst all NPQs were previously funded, from the Autumn, scholarships are available to all teachers and leaders from state-funded schools and settings for the following NPQs:
- NPQ Headship
- Early Headship Coaching Offer (EHCO)
- NPQ Leading Primary Mathematics
- NPQ SENCO
Scholarships are also available to all NPQs for teachers and leaders working in the “top 50% of schools as defined by the proportion of students that attract pupil premium funding.” The DfE have shared a preliminary list of eligible schools and this will also be updated in September as a final, confirmed list.
Comparative disadvantage criteria will also be applied to both Further Education and Early Years settings.
Unfortunately, charges will apply for applicants who are not eligible for scholarships and a schedule of fees will be made available on this page once available.
If you would like more information, or would like to confirm your scholarship eligibility, please visit the DfE Funding Information page or contact us directly at the hub.
