Imperial College London has launched a new scholarship fund, currently totalling close to £250,000, which will support students from displaced communities such as asylum seekers and refugees, providing scholarships at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The College will also widen support for PhD students and academics who have been displaced from their home country due to war, political unrest or environmental crisis.

Professor Alice Gast, President of Imperial, said: “The conflict in Ukraine is only the most recent tragic reminder of why offering sanctuary to scholars in need matters. These funds will provide crucial, flexible support where it is most needed, as we continue to welcome students and academics from every part of the world.”
