Navigating the scholarships application process can be challenging, but we’re here to help!

STAR is running this session to introduce you to the process. 👇🏽

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming online event on Thursday 22nd Janaury 5-7pm, designed to guide you through the scholarship application process, from understanding what scholarships are available, to key tips on how to write a good application.

We will also share information about applying to our 1:1 mentoring sessions in February.

First term of 2025/26 is over and we can't quite believe it! STAR groups across the country have been super busy holding a range of amazing and informative events, all with one central message, that refugees and people seeking asylum are welcome in our communites!

With over 37 STAR groups and over 200 student leaders, you are truly powering a movement of welcome across the UK.

Since the start of term, they have held:

🌟198 events! This ranges from fundraisers, panel discussions, quiz nights, film screenings, trainings, meetings, campaigns, demonstrations and so much more.

🌟21 one-off volunteering events. Including donation drives, Sanctuary Scholarship information sessions, University Open days, and letter writing.

🌟23 student led volunteering projects currently active and more in the process of being set up.

It has been an amazing start to the year and we can't wait to see what you do next term.

STAR is a small charity with a big impact. A student-powered network that supports community-based actions - from English classes to sports clubs - and empowers displaced people on their journey into higher education with peer mentoring.
