Asylum Seeker Scholarship

The University will offer 4 awards for entry into academic year 2025-2026. The award offers tuition fee and living cost support to those most in need who are seeking asylum.

For students commencing study at the University in session 2025-2026 the University will offer four undergraduate scholarships (excludes students who already hold a 1st undergraduate degree).

Each scholarship will cover the 'home' rate of fee and provide living costs per annum equivalent to the UKRI rate (for guidance, in 2024-2025, this was £19,237).

 

To be eligible for this Scholarship you should have applied for admission to a degree programme at this University commencing in 2025-2026 and received confirmation from the Fees and Student Support Team that your fees status has been updated to home student-Scotland fee rate (Asylum Seeker)
