The Mosaik Scholarship

The pieces are in place. Let’s build the solution.

A route closed. A gap we can fill

The UK Home Office has suspended study visas for students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan and Cameroon.

Each year, around 50 students from these countries accessed postgraduate study through routes like Chevening.

That route is now closed.

50 students is a gap UK higher education can fill.

Introducing the Mosaik Scholarship

We are asking universities to commit one or more funded places on postgraduate programmes delivered online and/or branch campuses for the 2026/27 academic year. 

Respond Alongside Peers

Universities join coordinated action through the Global Response Platform: Mosaik's network of UK institutions collaborating to contribute to larger impact for students affected by crises overseas.

Recruitment and selection

Through the Global Response Platform, Mosaik and its partners can support universities with student identification, selection.

Logistics support

Humanitarian and civil society partners of the Global Response Platform can support with last mile logistics of learning.
