Michael Perham Sanctuary Scholarships

Additional notes about eligibility criteria

Eligible applicants for either the UG or PGT Scholarship will:

• Be resident in the UK, with priority given to applicants living within Gloucestershire and immediate surrounding region*
• Have an immigration status which means they do not qualify for Student Finance
• Have received an offer of a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate-taught degree course at the University of Gloucestershire (if you have not already applied for a course, you may do so via UCAS and should wait to receive an offer of a place prior to applying to the Sanctuary Scholarship). Please note that the scholarship is only open to students whose course involves studying at a University of Gloucestershire campus, not at a franchised college.
• If seeking asylum, must have submitted a request for asylum to the UK Home Office before applying to the University of Gloucestershire
• Have completed the Sanctuary Scholarship application by 24 May 2024, including evidence confirming immigration status (allowing us to confirm ineligibility for student finance).
• Be able to provide contact details for a referee from a school, college, current/former employer or community/voluntary group. Referees will only be contacted for shortlisted candidates.
