About this opportunity
The Sanctuary Scholarship is a comprehensive financial support award for refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals with humanitarian protection status who have received an offer to study any undergraduate programme at Imperial College London. The scholarship covers full tuition fees, provides an annual living stipend of £16,500, and includes a one-off equipment grant of £1,500 for purchasing a laptop or other educational equipment. This award is specifically designed to remove financial barriers and support individuals who have faced significant challenges in continuing their education due to their immigration status in the UK. The scholarship is available across all undergraduate programmes at Imperial College London and is awarded for the duration of the degree programme, subject to maintaining satisfactory academic progress. Recipients gain access to additional support services through the Student Support Zone, which provides specialized assistance for refugees, asylum seekers, and forced migrants throughout their studies.
