Warm Welcome Scholarships

The Department for Education, in partnership with the British Council, has launched the Warm Welcome Scholarship Scheme to support individuals in the UK with links to Afghanistan to access higher education. The University of Hull is proud to be able to participate in this award. The scheme will offer scholarships for eligible students already studying in the UK (In-Year Scholarships) and to new students starting a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate programme in the academic year 2024/25 (Full Degree Scholarships).
