About this opportunity

The University of East London recognises that people seeking asylum in the UK are likely to be some of the most vulnerable in our society. The University is working with the Helena Kennedy Foundation to support such people accessing higher education. Successful applicants will be awarded 100% tuition fee support until they are awarded such immigration status that enables them to access support from Student Finance. The scholarship is non-repayable and is only available for the normal duration of the course. It is a merit-based scholarship that considers personal and family circumstances, barriers faced in continuing education, future career plans, and financial circumstances.
