Virtual Scholar Scheme
The Virtual Scholar Scheme refers to an initiative implemented by the University of Exeter’s Supporting Higher Education in Gaza working group, in the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
The scheme has been set up to provide scholars who are currently or were previously based in Gaza, with an affiliation to a department in the Faculty, including access to University of Exeter online resources. Scholars will also be given the opportunity to join online events and integrate virtually with the academic community where possible.
The Faculty will shortly be welcoming a second round of applications throughout December 2025. Please read the scheme's standard terms and conditions document (HASS Virtual Scholar Scheme Terms and Conditions) and find the application form here.
