Asylum seeker UG scholarship
If you are a refugee, your fee status will be applied in line with government policy and UKCISA guidance. You are likely to receive home fees status and have your fees paid for you by SAAS.
If you are an asylum seeker, we offer a limited number of Asylum Seeker Scholarships (a tuition fee waiver), applicable to the following four categories. If successful, GCU will cover the fees for a four-year undergraduate degree if you are:
Waiting on a decision on an asylum application
A dependent of an asylum applicant
Awaiting the results of an asylum appeal
Tuition fees
The University will provide scholarship funding to cover the full cost of the tuition fees for the student’s course until the student is eligible to receive support from the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS). This scholarship does not provide living costs .
The scholarship will be awarded for the normal duration of the student's course unless:
The student withdraws from the course. Or
The student completes the course. Or
The student's asylum and immigration appeals process concludes, and they are no longer legally permitted to remain in the UK. Or
The student receives Home Office status that qualifies them for support from SAAS, Student Finance in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
