WH Revis Article 26 Scholarship

What it gives
full tuition waiver · living costs
up to £500
Full tuition fee waiver (up to £33,000/yr for 2026/27) plus £500/yr living-cost contribution (cash or meal card)
Who it is for
asylum seeker (claim pending) · limited or discretionary leave
Level of study: undergraduate
The student finance condition
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.
Important warning
Payments stop if you are granted status during the course. Ask in advance what happens to the money: a decision can arrive mid-course.

How to apply

You need a place first: apply to the programme and wait for an offer. Scholarship applications are only considered from people who already hold one.

  1. Hold a current offer from the University of Nottingham UK Campus for year one of a full-time 3- or 4-year undergraduate course
  2. Gather your Home Office documentation on your asylum or human rights claim, showing the claim preceded your UCAS application
  3. Arrange a reference from a UK school, college, community group or social worker confirming your UK connection
  4. Complete the online application form via the university's Office Forms portal by the closing date (1 July 2026)
  5. Submit supporting statements from yourself and your referee — these decide the outcome if more than one eligible applicant applies

What to prepare

  • Home Office documentation on the asylum or human rights claim
  • Reference letter confirming UK connection
  • Supporting statements from applicant and referee

How they select

application form · personal statement · references · evidence of circumstances

There is no interview — the decision is made on documents. On most routes there are no subject entrance exams either: the main hurdle on the way into university is proving your level of English. The exceptions are medicine, dentistry and creative courses, where tests and portfolios do appear.
