Description
The University of Warwick is located on the outskirts of the city of Coventry which is recognised as a 'City of Sanctuary'. The 'City of Sanctuary' movement is committed to building a culture of hospitality and welcome, especially for those seeking sanctuary from war and persecution.
Postgraduate Taught Sanctuary Scholarships are available to students who are seeking sanctuary in the United Kingdom and priority will be given to those who are not entitled to receive Government Student Financial Support (such as a Masters Loan) from Student Finance England, Student Finance Wales, Student Finance Northern Ireland or the Student Awards Agency for Scotland.
Benefits
Full tuition fee support: Students will be offered a non-repayable 100% tuition fee waiver for 1 year (2 years if part-time).
Maintenance/living cost support: Students will be awarded a maintenance stipend in line with UKRI rates (£(21,805 for 2026/27 academic year).
The Widening Participation Lifecycle Team will support you throughout your studies and will share information about opportunities that might be relevant to you. We can also signpost you to other areas of support across the university.
Eligibility
Criteria 1: Sanctuary Eligibility Criteria
- You must be living in the UK at the time of your PGT Sanctuary Scholarship application. The UK includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We will not accept applications from students living outside of the UK.
- In addition, you must meet ONE of the following Sanctuary criteria:
- - You have sought asylum from the UK government (you are an asylum seeker) or were included as a dependent (spouse/child) on an application for asylum.
OR
- You have received a decision on your claim for asylum but your new visa status does not allow you to access UK Government Student Financial Support, i.e. the Postgraduate Masters Loan, nor does it give you Home Fee Status. For example, if your decision contains the words "no public funds", this means that you cannot access UK Student Loans, therefore you would be eligible to apply for this scholarship.
Criteria 2: Education Eligibility Criteria
You must hold a conditional or unconditional offer (or be awaiting a decision) for one of the following courses starting in Autumn:
- Full-time or part-time postgraduate Masters programme (LLM, MA, MSc or MRes)
- Full-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)
