The 21-year-old penned a one-year deal with the Foxes during the summer, but he has been given the chance to get some first-team football under his belt with the Conference Premier side.
The signing represents manager Liam Daish's first deal since he was appointed as the club's new boss last month.
Dawson has been included in Nuneaton's squad for Saturday's fixture at home to Lincoln City.
