Loughborough University Sanctuary Scholarships

Other eligibility requirements

Loughborough University is delighted to present the Loughborough University Sanctuary Scholarships for entry in October 2026.

Sanctuary Scholarships have been set up to support students fleeing conflict or war in their home country.

A Sanctuary Scholarship will cover the entirety of a students’ tuition fees at undergraduate or postgraduate level to allow them the opportunity to attend Loughborough University. 

The University is University of Sanctuary – a university that welcomes asylum seekers and refugees to the community and fosters a culture of acceptance and inclusion for all.

The scholarship will cover 100% off the course fees for your chosen postgraduate taught course for 1 year (replacing any departmental or other Loughborough University scholarships or bursaries you may already have been awarded).  

The University will award one undergraduate, and two postgraduate taught scholarships, and the standards required are very high so please make sure you submit a strong application to be considered for this prestigious award.

The scholarships are being 100% funded by University funds.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:

• Currently holding an offer (conditional or unconditional) for an eligible undergraduate programme
• Show evidence of exceptional academic achievement
• If your home located in a region of conflict/war such that their lives or the lives of their family are in danger, or such that they could be forcibly displaced due to persecution
• If you, or your family, at risk of imminent imprisonment, injury, death or persecution
• If you are currently in the UK but were to return to your home country, your life or safety would be at much greater risk.

Location: Loughborough and London campus.
