Funding Opportunities
Sanctuary Language Bursary
The Sanctuary Language Bursary provides free places on pre-sessional English language courses for individuals seeking asylum in the UK or with official refugee status who need to improve their English language skills before studying at the University of Portsmouth. The bursary is designed to support those who have submitted an application for asylum or humanitarian protection, have been granted Discretionary or Limited Leave to Remain, or are dependants of someone in these situations. Two bursaries are available each year, covering full tuition fees for the Pre-Sessional English Language Programme and the cost of an English Language Assessment if needed. Recipients must have a conditional or unconditional offer from the University of Portsmouth for entry onto an undergraduate degree course (excluding NHS funded courses) in September, and must be able to support their own accommodation and living expenses while living within commuting distance of the university.
Sanctuary Scholarship
The Sanctuary Scholarship is offered by the University of Portsmouth to support individuals seeking asylum who are pursuing undergraduate (Bachelor's) degrees. This scholarship provides comprehensive financial support by covering all tuition fees for each year of an undergraduate degree, including sandwich years. Additionally, recipients receive financial support towards study costs such as books, IT equipment, travel costs, and other expenses that help students study effectively. The scholarship also includes ongoing personal support to help identify and overcome barriers to achievement during the course. Typically one Sanctuary Scholarship is available each year, with applications opening in January for September entry. Applicants must be living in the UK and either have submitted an application for asylum or humanitarian protection, have been granted Discretionary or Limited Leave to Remain, or be a dependent of someone in these circumstances. Recipients must also be unable to access UK Government student financial support due to their immigration status and be willing to act as champions for the University.
NHS Learning Support Fund
The NHS Learning Support Fund offers students access to non-repayable financial support of between £5,000-£8,000. The fund is open to students on certain pre-registration healthcare courses at universities in England, and can supplement existing funding without requiring repayment. The fund is different from the NHS Bursary and won't affect other funding entitlements such as maintenance loans, disabled student allowances, and university bursaries. The fund is not means-tested and is open to both full-time and part-time students, who receive pro rata payments. All students receive their funding in 3 instalments, phased over the academic year. The extended package includes parental support (£2,000 per academic year), training grant (£5,000 per year), specialist subject payment (£1,000 per year), travel expenses and dual accommodation allowance reimbursements, and an exceptional support fund (up to £3,000 per year).
