Gonna host another query letter webinar at the start of the New Year, to help fund various free in-person events.

Two nights ago in Gaza. Amera is trying to finish her BA. Together we are researching postgraduate courses and scholarships across Europe as well as supporting undergrad. What she has endured is unimaginable - the loss of close family, home and belongings.

I am now working with Gazan undergraduates and - steep learning curve - I didn’t understand until this morning that sanctuary academic scholarships are only for those already in the UK. I’m looking at taught MA courses which offer bursary and fee waiver AND support entry. Do you have expertise?
