Applications for this scholarship is now open

The University of London has established two prestigious scholarships for the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies, the Sadako Ogata Scholarship for students beginning their studies in March, and the Guy S. Goodwin-Gill Scholarship for students beginning their studies in October.

The Sadako Ogata Scholarship celebrates the achievements of Sadako Ogata, former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (1991-2000), and an inspiring role model for practitioners and students of refugee protection worldwide. These scholarships seek to support outstanding students who are nationals of, and residing in, low- and middle-income countries and who otherwise might not be able to gain access to the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies due to financial circumstances.

Award criteria

Applicants for the Sadako Ogata Scholarship must:

• Have received an offer of registration for the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies for the relevant upcoming academic session; and
• be a national of and residing in a low- or lower-middle-income country (view a list of these countries); and
• demonstrate outstanding academic merit or potential in the field of study, evidenced particularly by past achievements; and
• be unable to take up the offer of a place on the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies due to financial circumstances; and
• have not previously applied for this scholarship or the Guy S. Goodwin-Gill Scholarship.

Students currently studying for a University of London award are not eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Application procedure

Please download the application form [MS Word doc 73KB]. If you decide to apply for the scholarship then you should wait until you have received a decision on your application before completing registration.

The scholarship application is a separate process to the application for acceptance on to the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies programme.  It requires applicants to detail their past achievements relevant to this field of study, professional positions held, personal information and financial situation. Applicants will also be required to provide a statement of their motivation in applying to the programme and for the scholarship.

All applications will be reviewed against the award criteria and applicants will be informed of the outcome of their applications in a timely manner. However it will not be possible to provide further individual feedback on applications.

Key dates

The Sadako Ogata scholarship will be awarded yearly to a student intending to commence studies in the March intake of the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies. Relevant dates for the coming academic year are as follows:

Deadline for scholarship applications: 16 January 2018

Notification of outcome to all applicants: 31 January 2018

Deadline for registration on MA programme: 1 March 2018

Each scholarship is offered for a particular academic session and cannot be carried over to a later intake or a future year
