Swansea University Sanctuary Scholarship
Offered by Swansea University
About this scholarship
The Swansea University Sanctuary Scholarship supports people seeking sanctuary in the UK to pursue postgraduate taught master's study. The official Swansea page states that the scholarship offers three awards for entry to eligible postgraduate taught master's programmes starting in September 2026. Funding includes a full tuition fee bursary covering the cost of postgraduate taught master's course fees and a choice of two additional bursaries: a living costs bursary of £14,400 paid monthly, or a study costs bursary of £4,250 paid in two instalments. The award is recorded as full funding because it covers tuition and provides significant living or study cost support. Eligible applicants include people seeking asylum in the UK, people granted discretionary leave to remain or Humanitarian Protection who are not eligible for UK funding, and partners or dependents included on an asylum seeker's application. NHS sponsored master's courses, courses with travel abroad, placements, PGCEs, and Social Work are excluded.
