2016/17 Student Bursaries
What you need to do
- Submit an application through UCAS (www.ucas.com). An offer via UCAS for a place at one of the universities on this list is essential.
- Check the details of the bursary scheme at your chosen university.
- Once you have been at offered a place apply DIRECTLY to the University for a Bursary to support you in your studies.
IMPORTANT: Helena Kennedy Foundation and Article 26 work separately. You can no longer apply directly to Article 26 for an award and HKF bursaries have separate eligibility criteria and bursary application process.
Bursary Support
Each university offers different support to different students. Check the details of the bursary scheme at the university you have applied to in the table below.
Some universities help meet the cost of accommodation and living expenses, the majority of universities are not able to meet these costs, therefore you need to make alternate provision for your living and accommodation costs during your degree programme. For some students this means that they can only consider universities in close proximity to where they currently live.
Questions about bursaries on offer at the universities listed on this page need to be directed to the university.
Stay Updated
The list of universities offering places will continue to grow, keep checking our webpage for updates. Follow Article 26 on twitter: @A26project or www.facebook.com/Article26.
Other sources of support
There are alternative sources of funding and support if you are not successful in your application for an Article 26 bursary. The links below are to other organisations that offer support to students.
Refugee Support Network provides advice and guidance on access to higher education: https://www.refugeesupportnetwork.org/
Schwab & Westheimer Trusts: http://www.schwabwestheimertrust.org.uk/
TIKO Foundation: http://www.tikofoundation.org/
Please note: This information has been collated to give you an overview of all the bursaries available to students seeking sanctuary, this includes bursaries offered by universities where there is a strong working relationship with the Article 26 project and universities where bursaries are offered independently of the project.
