A Glasgow charity is celebrating a successful campaign to support the higher education of migrants and the children of asylum seekers.
Prior to the change, students were expected to pay up to £25,000 of international fees, despite having lived in Scotland for years and getting their secondary school degrees here.
The campaign was launched last year in partnership with legal charity JustRight Scotland and was shortlisted for this year’s Scottish Charity Awards. Jen Ang, director of Policy and Development at JustRight Scotland said: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Community Action category, which recognises the impact of Our Grades Not Visas campaign on young people across our communities in Scotland.
