Undergraduate Sanctuary Scholarship
About this opportunity
For the 2024/25 academic year, the University of Bath will offer one Undergraduate Scholarship.
Scholarships are for full time undergraduate applicants who are seeking asylum in the UK, and who are not able to access UK Government Student Finance (tuition fee loans or maintenance loans/grants) by virtue of their immigration status.
We will cover your fees and help with additional costs with a bursary of up to £5000. This could include for example books, IT equipment, travel costs or other costs that help you to study effectively.
You’ll also get personal one to one support to help identify and overcome barriers to achievement on your course.
