Sanctuary Scholarships are provided by King’s College London as part of its commitment to support talented students who are forced migrants in the UK.
The Sanctuary Scholarships (Pathway 2) are for students for individuals impacted by the war in Ukraine who are displaced and/or at risk of persecution, violence and conflict, including individuals from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
The scholarships are open to students at all levels (Bachelors, Masters, PhD) with some scholarships prioritised for STEM subjects, in particular Maths and Physics.
Each scholarship comprises a full tuition fee waiver and a living costs bursary.

This will be in the region £8,000 – £14,000 per annum depending on applicants’ circumstances. Individual allocations will be confirmed, in writing, to each successful applicant upon allocation of the award.
