The #WeAreInternational Grants scheme focuses on integrating the principles of the #WeAreInternational Student Charter in higher and further education institutions in the UK, to deliver a world-class international student experience, from pre-arrival to post-graduation.  

In 2022-2024 applicants selected one of the five principles of the #WeAreInternational Student Charter as the guiding framework for research or a project. UKCISA members applied for a grant between £1,000 to £4,000, covering one year of a project or research development. The 2022-2024 scheme project and research applications ran from February 2023 to February 2024.

Applications for the next Grants scheme open in Autumn 2024.
