Sanctuary Scholarships

The University of Glasgow Sanctuary Scholarship has been created to support applicants with Refugee or Asylum Seeker status who are currently living in the UK and hold an offer to study at the University in the 2026/27 academic year. As a University of Sanctuary, the institution is committed to ensuring that those with the ambition and determination to pursue higher education have the opportunity to do so. This scholarship provides a full tuition fee waiver along with financial support for living costs, helping recipients focus on their studies and thrive both academically and personally. Through this initiative, the University aims to offer meaningful opportunities to talented individuals seeking sanctuary, enabling them to rebuild their futures and become part of the global #TeamUofG community. The scholarship is open to prospective undergraduate and postgraduate taught students applying for entry in September 2026/27. Applicants must have already applied to the University before submitting a scholarship application. The scholarship covers full tuition fees for the duration of the programme for those unable to access mainstream funding through Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) or Student Finance, plus a £5,000 per year stipend to assist with study costs.
