University College London (UCL) has launched the Access Opportunity Scholarship for the 2018-2019 academic year. It is designed for students whose immigration status prevents them from taking out student loans for university. The award covers full tuition fees and provides a living allowance, so recipients can focus on their undergraduate studies at UCL.
