Sanctuary Scholarships

Who can apply?

To be eligible for the Sanctuary Scholarship you must fall into one of the following immigration status groups:

• asylum seeker – a person who has made a claim in the UK for refugee status
• refugee status OR humanitarian protection without access to home fees and student finance
• a person who has limited leave to remain (formerly discretionary leave to remain) this could include, for example, unaccompanied asylum seeking children who have reached majority age
• the dependants of any of the above status groups in recognition that they are also from asylum-seeking or refugee backgrounds.

Any applicant residing in the UK can apply, however the University of Plymouth will give priority to applicants already residing in the Plymouth area.
