The UN Refugee Agency have just announced that 40 UK Universities have started initiatives to help integrate refugees and asylum seekers into higher education. But Roey is not on this list? Roehampton University should offer scholarships or bursaries for refugees and asylum seekers that wish to pursue a degree. This can be in the from of a fee waiver, covering accommodation & living costs or an annual scholarship. Everybody has the right to an education.
