In addition to completing the online Article 26 Scholarship application form, applicants must also ensure that they have applied to a course at the University through our Admissions department.
Applicants will need to read the guidance notes fully and complete an online application form. The Article 26 Scholarship application form will ask you questions about your individual circumstances, and you will be asked to provide a supporting statement to tell us more about your financial circumstances. You will also need to provide supporting evidence - we will contact you by email to discuss this with you.
All applicants will require a referee to provide a supporting statement for their application. This could be a school or college lecturer, support worker or community or voluntary group leader. All applicants will also need to provide supporting evidence of their circumstances by the application deadline.
Applicants are reminded that this is a competitive process and not all applications for the Scholarships will be successful.
Stage 1 - Once the closing date for applications has passed, following an initial assessment, the University will contact applicants to let them know whether or not their application will progress to the next stage of the selection process.
Stage 2 - Applicants who are shortlisted will be invited to an interview during Summer 2024 to verify the information they have provided on their application and to give them an opportunity to get to know the University. Applicants will be asked to sign a document providing permission for the University to share information with the UK Home Office in order to verify eligibility for the scholarship and status in the UK. Interviews will be held as soon as possible after the closing date.
Stage 3 - Successful applicants will be sent an offer of an Article 26 Sanctuary Scholarship within two weeks of the interview.
