Further Information 

• There is only a very limited amount of scholarship spaces available and completing this application does not guarantee funding for your course which is a separate application. 
• This scholarship is only able to assist you as an individual student and cannot provide support for family members or friends. 
• You will need to inform the Home Office that you are no longer in need of Asylum Seeker support if you are offered and in receipt of this scholarship. If you do not you will be committing a fraudulent act which could lead to the loose of your status or further implications. You should check what effects withdrawing from Asylum Seeker support will have with the Home Office before accepting our Scholarship.
