UCL Humanitarian Scholarship

UCL Humanitarian Scholarships enable students at serious risk and/or displaced due to armed conflict to pursue full-time Masters degree studies at UCL. The scholarship is specifically designed for candidates who are at serious risk as a direct result of armed conflict, and/or have been displaced inside or have been forced to leave their home country within the last three years because of armed conflict and have sought international protection outside of the UK. The scholarship covers full tuition fees and a maintenance payment to cover accommodation and living costs (approximately £20,000) for the normal course duration, with UCL guaranteeing a single room in UCL accommodation if chosen. Additional allowances cover the Immigration Health Surcharge, visa fees and one return flight. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need and upon the recommendation of the UCL Humanitarian Scholarship panel. Up to 3 scholarships are available for the 2026/27 academic year.
