The DkIT Sanctuary Scholarship covers the full tuition fee waiver for a programme on which available places are advertised. A maximum of one scholarship will be awarded per academic year. The Scheme will be reviewed annually. In each year, the Scholarship will be awarded on the basis of CAO points.
