Education scholarship opportunities in another country
Through education pathways, refugees and asylum seekers in Sri Lanka can benefit from higher education opportunities in a third country. They enable refugees and asylum-seekers to live, study, and in some cases obtain permanent residency in another country. If you have the relevant education level and language skills, you may benefit from scholarship programmes offered to refugees and asylum-seekers by various universities around the world.
Accredited higher education and scholarship opportunities that have been verified by UNHCR are listed on UNHCR’s Scholarship Opportunities for Refugees platform. The criteria, areas of study, application process, and other relevant details of these programmes are different for every school.
You will find the details on the various programmes on the platform, including scholarship opportunities to study in countries that meet refugees’ basic protection needs, including prevention from being returned to your country and access to international protection.
Some programmes also provide more comprehensive support for refugee students to ensure their success. It is crucial that you consider those aspects, which may impact your safety and your success in the programme.
