The University of Greenwich is a place for minds to meet, ideas to spark and new adventures to begin which is why we pride ourselves on providing our students with an Education without Boundaries.
In 2019, we launched the Sanctuary Scholarship for students affected by war, political unrest or environmental crisis. This isn't just a scholarship; it's a gateway to a brighter future for those who've faced unimaginable hardships.
Each year, we offer two scholarships to asylum seekers or refugees in the UK who are ineligible for government support. This includes:
- A tuition fee waiver.
- Maintenance support of £10,000.
- Accommodation fee waiver for Avery Hill or Greenwich Campus.
But we're not just providing an education – we're nurturing future leaders, innovators, and change-makers. Our Sanctuary Scholars are empowered to explore their identities, find their voices, and make a lasting impact on our shared world.

Support beyond the classroom
While our support is substantial, the reality is that displaced students face complex challenges extending far beyond tuition and basic living expenses. Many struggle with:
- Childcare costs
- Essential technology for studies
- Mental health support
- Extracurricular activities crucial for a full university experience
This is where you come in. Your donation can bridge these gaps, ensuring our Sanctuary Scholars don't just survive, but thrive.
