Introduction

Cranfield University’s School of Management offers generous and competitive scholarships of up to 20% to all students, who would like to join our fantastic triple-accredited business school.

We greatly value the experience and diversity of our thriving international community of students alongside our pool of UK based nationals. Our scholarships are designed to support and attract the best quality students from a wide range of countries both home and abroad, so that we can secure the best possible mix of individuals within our MSc cohorts in the next academic year.

Scholarship awards

Our Cranfield Merit Scholarships are designed to attract high quality students to our institution and therefore we have a scholarship scale to recognise those who demonstrate strong academic performance in line with our entry requirements.

Who is eligible?

  • Available to eligible applicants who hold an offer for one of our full-time postgraduate taught MSc degree programmes, through Cranfield School of Management for September 2025 entry.
  • Overseas fee offer holders must possess a minimum of a UK upper second class honours degree or international equivalent.
  • Home fee offer holders must possess a minimum of a UK lower second class honours degree or international equivalent.
  • If you are currently studying towards your qualification, you will still be considered for a Cranfield Merit Scholarship. If offered a place, the scholarship will be subject to meeting the entry requirements of the course.
  • Applicants to the full-time MBA programme are not eligible for these particular scholarships, however there is a large range of scholarship and funding opportunities available. To find out more, visit the Full-time MBA Scholarships and Funding page.

How to apply

Cranfield Merit Scholarships are considered as part of the full-time MSc programme application.

Awarding the Cranfield Merit Scholarships

You do not need to apply for this scholarship. You will be considered for this scholarship based on your previous degree outcome.

If you have completed your studies, and are eligible, the scholarship will be confirmed in your offer letter.

If you are still studying, you will need to provide Admissions with your final degree result. You will receive a revised offer letter which will include the scholarship value. Please allow at least 2 weeks for us to confirm the award of the scholarship, following the submission of your degree results. 

If you are subsequently awarded another scholarship, this will supersede the Cranfield Merit Scholarship. These include:

*Any Taiwanese applicant who submits an application by 31 January 2025.
