Distance Learning (DL) Sanctuary Awards

Các điều kiện khác

You can apply for a DL Sanctuary Award if you hold an academic offer to study (or are waiting for a decision) and have at any time been forcibly displaced from your home and forced to seek sanctuary elsewhere. Eligible applicants may be based anywhere in the world and be refugees, people seeking asylum and people who have been internally displaced and/or who are at risk of political persecution, violence or conflict. If you have a background of forced displacement and believe you are eligible, please apply, and we will consider your application on a case-by-case basis.

You may have always aspired to study at university but faced obstacles in achieving your goal. We understand that your studies may have been interrupted, that you might not have evidence of your previous qualifications or that your qualifications aren't transferable. You also may not have evidence of your English language abilities and may need support obtaining this. The DL Sanctuary Award is designed to accommodate these factors, so don’t let these stop you from applying.

Please note that we prioritise those applicants with the greatest need, and who are facing the greatest barriers to continuing their education. For example, if you are in the UK and able to access Student Finance, we would not prioritise your application. Please use your personal statement to fully outline these barriers.
