The Sanctuary Scholarship

For each academic year, UWE Bristol will be offering two scholarships to support asylum seekers and refugees who are not able to access student finance to study undergraduate courses at UWE Bristol.

The scholarship will include:

full tuition fee waiver for the duration of the course
£5,000 annual bursary for the duration of the course as a contribution towards study costs
access to support from UWE Cares.

Eligibility

You can apply if you:

• are an asylum seeker or meet one of the other immigration status requirements listed in the terms and conditions
• are unable to access UK Government student financial support for higher education because of your immigration status
• have a conditional or unconditional offer for a UWE Bristol undergraduate programme of study.

If you have refugee status or humanitarian protection and are eligible for UK student finance, you are not eligible for the Sanctuary Scholarship. You will be offered the same means-tested support we offer to other financially vulnerable groups through UWE Cares, including the UWE Cares Enhanced Bursary. You can find more information at UWE Cares.
