Sanctuary Scholarship

Supports students at risk

We're proud to be a University of Sanctuary. We offer three Sanctuary Scholarships per academic year to support you if you have sought asylum in the UK. This includes one undergraduate scholarship and two postgraduate scholarships. The scholarships are to help you with the costs of studying, such as fees, travel and study materials. These scholarships are funded by the University and through generous donations from former students.
