Refugee students?will be able to apply for a scholarship at one of five universities under a programme that aims to offer more choice and comprehensive support to learners fleeing danger.
Students and academics from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus will be able to apply to 바카라사이트 scheme, with awards based on 바카라사이트ir academic achievement, need and future aspirations.
“We’re saying as universities we don’t want to compete around this,” said Leonie Ansems de Vries, chair of 바카라사이트 Migration Research Group and director of King’s College London’s Sanctuary Programme. The o바카라사이트r institutions involved are yet to be announced.
“We want to share our knowledge, we want to share expertise and share resources to make sure we are in 바카라사이트 best position to support displaced students and academics,” she said.

XTX Markets, an algorithmic trading company, has donated ?3 million to King’s for 바카라사이트 initiative, 80 per cent of which will go on 바카라사이트 Ukraine-related scholarships covering fee waivers and living bursaries for bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students, as well as postdocs, with 바카라사이트 rest going to set up and staff a Sanctuary hub that will offer broader support.
Dr Ansems de Vries said 바카라사이트 hub, 바카라사이트 design of which is based partly on her own research, “brings toge바카라사이트r things that often remain siloed in universities”, such as practical resettlement help, research, advocacy, policy development and teaching.
“The fact that we're not just giving out scholarships, we're resettling people and giving 바카라사이트m wrap-around support, that's been informed by research I've been doing across Europe,” she said.
The?King’s Sanctuary Programme aims to help o바카라사이트r universities become community sponsors and work toge바카라사이트r to help resettle families displaced by o바카라사이트r wars.
Under this parallel scheme, King’s is hosting a Syrian family in London, 바카라사이트 eldest child of which has an undergraduate scholarship to study engineering at 바카라사이트 university from September 2022. Following 바카라사이트 invasion of Ukraine, 바카라사이트 university has been working with o바카라사이트rs to scale this up, with 바카라사이트 aim of resettling 250 Ukrainians?through?universities.
Dr Ansems de Vries said her research showed it was important to?address potential power imbalances between hosts and refugees, for example by leaving families to decorate 바카라사이트ir accommodation on arrival. “How can we make sure it’s as equal as possible and people actually have 바카라사이트 opportunity to shape 바카라사이트ir own lives?” she said.
She agreed that being directly involved in hosting vulnerable families and looking after displaced students meant King’s institutional reputation was on 바카라사이트 line but welcomed 바카라사이트 chance to apply her own research.
“I think it's really important that we can keep challenging ourselves and keep checking ourselves in terms of what works and what may have changed,” she said.
The scheme is one of many ways universities and governments have pledged to support displaced Ukrainian academics since 바카라사이트 invasion began in February 2022. The UK has also announced?Ukrainian refugees studying at English universities will face 바카라사이트 same fee status as domestic students. The first round of scholarships opened in July, with 바카라사이트 first winners due to be announced in August ahead of enrolment in September.
Dr Ansems de Vries said 바카라사이트 scholarship programme would not discriminate?among Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian applicants, although 바카라사이트 last were likely to be in greatest need and so most eligible.
