Only if you cannot access student finance

This scheme is for people without access to government student finance — usually asylum seekers and some limited-leave categories. If you have refugee status and can access student finance, this is normally not for you.

How to apply

You do not need to wait for an offer — the scholarship application can run alongside admission.

What happens to the payments if I am granted refugee status mid-year?
