The University of Sheffield is continuing its commitment to supporting people who are fleeing war and persecution, with 10 refugee scholarships that are open for applications.
The Sanctuary Scholarships have been created to help students who have been displaced by conflict continue their studies. They cover the cost of tuition for each year of study and provide support with living costs.
The University has already helped 40 students through the programme since it launched and applications for the coming academic year are open.
Sheffield's English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC) has also provided scholarships to help refugee students learn English - a key language in global higher education - and over the last year has supported students from Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Honduras.
