Refugee Scholarship

Bangor University is proud to introduce our Refugee Scholarship for those students who have had to flee their country of origin and have sought sanctuary in North Wales.

In addition to being from a refugee background, we are looking for students who can demonstrate academic excellence and notable achievements in their social and professional life, and who will make a valuable contribution to all aspects of University life. This is an opportunity to recommence your academic career after having to leave your country and its education system. If you think that sounds like you – then we look forward to receiving your application.
