Please note that the 'Humanitarian Scholarship' and our 'University of Dundee Afghan Women's Scholarship' draw on the same budget for funding. This budget allows us to fund approximately 24 fully-funded scholarships. However, the number of awards allocated to each scholarship is determined by University of Dundee after the closing date. This allocation is made according to the volume and relative quality of applications received. As a University of Sanctuary, the University also reserves the right to create new scholarships which draw from this fund in response to global developments.
