Refugee students will be able to apply for a scholarship at one of five universities under a programme that aims to offer more choice and comprehensive support to learners fleeing danger.
Students and academics from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus will be able to apply to the scheme, with awards based on their academic achievement, need and future aspirations.
“We’re saying as universities we don’t want to compete around this,” said Leonie Ansems de Vries, chair of the Migration Research Group and director of King’s College London’s Sanctuary Programme. The other institutions involved are yet to be announced.
