Kingston University has four fee-remitted Sanctuary Scholarships available each academic year for Asylum Seeking applicants with no access to Student Finance. This is in support of STAR's Equal Access Campaign which aims to create scholarship pathways to provide higher education to refugees and asylum seekers who have fled persecution and sought asylum in the UK.
We currently offer:
- Four full fee-remitted places each year to successful undergraduate applicants
- An annual 5,000 bursary to support students with living costs and
- A place on our KU Cares Scheme, which includes a designated member of staff to provide support, guidance and opportunities throughout your studies.
To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- An asylum seeker through forced migration
- Ineligible to apply for Student Finance due to asylum status
- Holding an offer for an undergraduate course at Kingston University for the forthcoming academic year
