If you are applying for a course that is considered of an equivalent level to a qualification that you already hold, you may not be eligible for support from the student finance authorities. Please contact the relevant student finance authority if you have any questions about this. If you are unable to afford to take an English Language test, we may be able to assist you to access a DuoLingo English Language test. Please email refugeescholarship@reading.ac.uk. Please note that we have a limited number of these tests available.

Step 1: Submit your academic degree programme application. Submit applications via UCAS for undergraduate study, or directly on our website for postgraduate study. Step 2: Apply for government student financial support, if applicable. We receive more applications than scholarships available, so we cannot guarantee that a scholarship will be awarded to you. We suggest that applicants apply for a student loan if they are eligible to do so, in case your Sanctuary Scholarship application is unsuccessful.You will need to submit a short application for all awards in this scholarship programme. You should have applied for the academic course you would like to study before you apply for the scholarship. Undergraduate courses If you have applied for an undergraduate course, and have declared that you have refugee status on your UCAS form we will endeavour to contact you inviting you to apply. If you haven’t declared your status on your UCAS form or are applying through a different route you can still apply for a scholarship if you think you are eligible, but you must have submitted an academic application to study at the University of Reading before you can apply for the scholarship. Master’s courses If you have applied for a Master’s course and you think you are eligible for an award, you can apply for the scholarship.
