University of Strathclyde Scholarship

Summary:

To establish this fellowship, the university collaborated closely with the Carnegie Trust, the Scottish Refugee Council, and the University of Strathclyde Students’ Association. Its goal is to assist those who are in the UK as asylum seekers and those who are there for humanitarian reasons in overcoming barriers to furthering their education.

The scholarship is open to students wishing to attend the University of Strathclyde to pursue taught postgraduate or undergraduate degrees. It pays for tuition and provides funds for necessary study-related expenses.

You might be qualified for SAAS to cover your tuition costs if you were under 18 when your guardian or parent filed for asylum, or if you were an unaccompanied asylum seeker under 18 when you filed for asylum.
