Sanctuary Scholarship

For the 2021/22 academic year, the University of Bath will offer two Scholarships:

• the Appleton Sanctuary Scholarship
• the Marie Morley Sanctuary Scholarship

for taught postgraduate master’s students who are seeking asylum in the UK, consisting of:

• a fee waiver covering the full cost of tuition fees
• a bursary up to £15,285

The bursary is designed to help with course-related and living costs, and not with wider costs, for example, legal fees.

You can apply for a Sanctuary Scholarship if you hold one of the following eligible immigration statuses before submitting your application to study at Bath. This is either in your own right or as a dependent of someone with this status:

• UK asylum seeker
• UK discretionary leave to remain (as a result of an asylum application)
• UK limited leave to remain (as a result of an asylum application)
• recently granted humanitarian protection (as a result of an asylum application)

You must also be:

• a new taught postgraduate student starting studies in 2020
• resident in the UK
