Scholarships, foundations, and support schemes that help Palestinians, especially those in Gaza, to leave and study in the UK. Please do share with Palestinians who need to leave Gaza. It is possible to leave with spouses and children. 

 

Guidance
Palestinians in Gaza who are trying to find a safe and legal way out through UK study routes should know that the most reliable path is securing a fully funded UK scholarship. The UK government has publicly stated that it gives priority support to Gaza students who hold fully funded awards. This support includes help with visas, permission to complete biometrics in a third country and coordination to assist scholarship holders with leaving Gaza when possible.

 

Applying to several scholarships increases your chances of success. Many UK universities now offer Gaza specific or Palestine specific awards, and a number of students have already travelled through these routes. This includes opportunities at Sheffield, Sussex, York, Oxford, Leeds, Glasgow and others.

 

Because visa biometrics cannot be completed inside Gaza, the UK allows scholarship students to complete them in third countries such as Egypt or Jordan. Many students who reached the UK have travelled this way with coordination from their university and the UK authorities.

 

There are also support networks that help Gaza students understand their options, prepare documents, complete applications and navigate travel arrangements. These include groups that coordinate scholarship assistance, organisations that help with academic applications and volunteer networks that assist with practical steps.

 

If a UK university offers you a place or a scholarship, stay in close contact with their international office. They can liaise with the Home Office and Foreign Office, issue the documents needed for visa sponsorship and guide you through each step.

 

Keep digital copies of your passport or travel document, academic certificates, recommendation letters, ID and any proof of residence in Gaza. Even if your documents are incomplete, UK universities understand the circumstances and will assess applications with flexibility.

 

If you are displaced within Gaza, you can still apply. UK institutions recognise the challenges applicants face and do not expect perfect documentation or stable communication.

 

Finally, many Gaza students have already managed to leave through these education routes. They travelled through coordinated arrangements involving universities, support groups and international partners, showing that this path is difficult but possible.
