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.

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.
