Why We Exist
Why is this website focused on Black students?
In 2023, Universities UK reported that 45% of Black students experienced racial harassment at UK universities - a stark reminder that community, culture and institutional support aren't small details when choosing where to study. Yet these are exactly the questions mainstream guides rarely answer, leaving Black students to piece together this picture on their own.
StudyKin exists to close that information gap - bringing together ethnicity statistics, diversity initiatives, student societies and scholarships in one place, so Black students can make informed decisions with a clearer picture of what to expect.

Your Questions, Answered
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about this website.
Through advising prospective students and through lived experiences, we understand the gaps in information and support that Black students encounter. We want to bridge these gaps by offering honest, relevant and culturally aware guidance. Whether you're choosing a university or finding your feet once you're there, we're here to support you on your journey.
Where scholarships or funding are listed, eligibility is determined by the scholarship provider. Some opportunities are for UK home students of Black heritage (incluidng mixed race), while others are specifically for Black international students from Africa and the Caribbean.
We will also be creating a student hub for African students and much more. We're continuously growing with more features on the way so stick with us!
All scholarships and funding opportunities listed are for the upcoming year and will be refreshed and updated on an ongoing basis once a new academic year has begun. Please note not all scholarships are released at the same time.
