Michael Perham Sanctuary Scholarships
University of Gloucestershire
About this opportunity
Named after the former Bishop of Gloucester and University Pro Chancellor, the late Rt. Revd Michael Perham, this scholarship has been established in recognition of the additional challenges and barriers in accessing higher education faced by refugees and people seeking asylum, and their dependants. The University of Gloucestershire will offer a Sanctuary Scholarship for one new undergraduate student and one new postgraduate student per academic year. The scholarship will cover full tuition fees and up to £10,000 per year, which may take the form of a bursary or funding for additional support, dependent on the successful applicant’s circumstances.
