Description
Queen Mary University was founded in the belief that education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background. It is a special place with the best record amongst all the Russell Group universities in England for recruiting students from lower-income families. Our diversity is our strength and something that we are all inherently proud of.
The Sanctuary Support Fund will provide additional financial assistance to Queen Mary's students who are asylum seekers or have a temporary immigration status awarded as a result of a claim for asylum.
Benefits
Successful applicants will be awarded a full tuition fee waiver and maintenance support. The non-repayable maintenance scholarship will include £1,700, the equivalent of the Queen Mary Bursary, and the equivalent of the student loan which most closely matches your circumstances, £8,877 for those living in a parental home, £13,762 for those living independently.
