Worth more than £140,000 a year in total, the scholarships are being offered to three undergraduate students and three postgraduate students.
Under the funding the full-time students’ teaching and accommodation fees will be waived. They will also receive maintenance bursaries of up to £10,000 a year – marking a significant increase in Goldsmiths’ funding for those affected by events in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
The scholarships will be split between Goldsmiths’ three academic Schools, with one undergraduate and one postgraduate from each School chosen to receive the help.
