Nice work @UniofReading! 👏. Here at Hull we've proudly been declared a University of Sanctuary for our commitment to creating an accessible and supportive environment for refugees and asylum seekers. This includes a number of full scholarships and tuition fee support for many!
We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on.
