About this opportunity
The University of Birmingham offers five Sanctuary Scholarships annually for new undergraduate and postgraduate taught students starting in 2026 who have sought refuge in the UK. The university is committed to providing a welcoming environment for asylum seekers as part of its University of Sanctuary initiative. These scholarships are designed to support prospective students unable to access student loans or other statutory funding due to their residency status. The scholarships provide comprehensive support including full tuition fee waivers, living stipends, accommodation, and welcome resources to help students succeed in their studies.
