Nine UK Universities Offer Online Postgraduate Scholarships Amid Visa Pause
Nine UK universities have partnered with NGO Mosaik Education to offer online postgraduate scholarships to students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Cameroon. This initiative responds to the UK government's pause on study visa applications from these countries, which halted campus-based admissions and access to scholarships like Chevening. So far, 19 funded places have been secured, aiming to support about 50 students through remote learning, with courses delivered via online or transnational education.
