Leeds Trinity Sanctuary Scholarship

Leeds Trinity University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

Leeds Trinity offers Sanctuary Scholarships every year to help people seeking asylum and students from a forced migrant background access higher education. The scholarships were originally set up in partnership with the Helena Kennedy Foundation through its Article 26 project.

The award is a tuition fee waiver for the length of the course, so the full cost of tuition fees is covered. Five Sanctuary Scholarships are offered per academic year.
