The Maycock-Whileman Scholarship offers financial support to students who have been granted asylum to the UK on the basis of refugee status.
This award has been established as a result of a generous donation to the University from the late Mrs Betty Whileman and provides £1,000 per year to successful recipients for the length of their course. The award is paid directly to the successful recipients and does not have to be paid back after you graduate.
To be considered for this award, students must submit an application so we can assess their eligibility against the criteria.
