Asylum Seeker Scholarship

The University of Edinburgh will offer 2 awards for entry into academic year 2026-2027. The award offers tuition fee and living cost support to those most in need who are seeking asylum. Each scholarship will cover the 'home' rate of fee and provide a stipend per annum of around £21,000. This scholarship is available to students commencing undergraduate degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh. To be eligible, applicants must have applied for admission to an undergraduate degree programme and received confirmation that their fees status has been updated to home student-Scotland fee rate (Asylum Seeker). The scholarship excludes students who already hold a first undergraduate degree.
