Postgraduate Sanctuary Scholarship

The Postgraduate Sanctuary Scholarship at the University of Westminster provides comprehensive support for students seeking asylum who are currently living in the United Kingdom. This scholarship is designed to enable asylum seekers and those with discretionary or limited leave to remain (as a result of an asylum application) to pursue full-time master's degree programs. The scholarship recognizes the barriers faced by sanctuary seekers in accessing higher education and provides both financial and academic support to help them complete their postgraduate studies. The award covers the full tuition fee for the master's program and provides a monthly stipend to support living costs during the course of study. Two scholarships are available each year for students beginning their studies in September.
