Undergraduate Refugee Scholarship
University of Hull

As part of this, the Undergraduate Refugee Scholarship aims to support one student who has sought sanctuary in the UK and is now eligible for undergraduate student finance, but due to previous education undertaken outside of the UK is not able to take out the Tuition Fee Loan for all years of study.
