You can apply for a DL Sanctuary Award if you hold an academic offer to study (or are waiting for a decision) and have at any time been forcibly displaced from your home and forced to seek sanctuary elsewhere. Eligible applicants may be based anywhere in the world and be refugees, people seeking asylum and people who have been internally displaced and/or who are at risk of political persecution, violence or conflict. If you have a background of forced displacement and believe you are eligible, please apply, and we will consider your application on a case-by-case basis.

We understand that your studies may have been interrupted, that you might not have evidence of your previous qualifications or that your qualifications aren't transferable.

DL Sanctuary Award applications from unconditional offer holders will be reviewed about four weeks before the start date of the course.
