We are committed to doing everything we can to support people fleeing the war in Ukraine and providing sanctuary and safety in Wales, including supporting those who wish to continue or commence studies.


We will be making amendments to our student support regulations to enable a person, who has permission to stay under the UK Government’s visa schemes for Ukrainian nationals and their family members, to access student support, home fee status, and the undergraduate tuition fee cap. The Ukraine Visa Schemes include the Ukraine Family Scheme, Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme (Homes for Ukraine), and the Ukraine Extension Scheme for existing Ukrainian nationals or immediate family members who were already in the UK under a different visa route.


Regulations are due to be laid in July and subject to Senedd Cymru approval, it is envisaged that students will be able to access student finance for their studies from 1 August 2022\. Students will need to meet certain eligibility criteria.


Providing access to student support is crucial to enabling people seeking sanctuary in Wales to attend a course of higher education to ensure they can aspire to the future, improve their skills, and enhance their well\-being. By extending support to students arriving from Ukraine we hope to offer some stability and assurance at this difficult time and provide equity of access for refugees and those seeking sanctuary in Wales.


I would like to take the opportunity to thank our universities, who have been extremely responsive to the humanitarian crisis, and supportive of the Welsh Government’s Nation of Sanctuary. They have continued to work collaboratively with agencies such as the Council for At\-Risk Academics (CARA) and Universities of Sanctuary to ensure that support for those fleeing war, conflict and persecution can find a place of academic safety in Wales.


Any person seeking sanctuary wishing to start a course of higher education in the autumn term, should speak directly to their chosen university admissions office as soon as possible. The normal admissions process for September 2022 is already well underway but universities are able to offer advice and support for anyone wishing to study in Wales.


We are determined to do everything we can to give people seeking sanctuary from Ukraine the warmest welcome possible and we want to ensure students arriving here have the support they need to start or continue their higher and further education.

Rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i gefnogi pobl sy'n ffoi rhag y rhyfel yn Wcráin. Yn ogystal â darparu noddfa a diogelwch yng Nghymru, rydym yn cefnogi'r rhai sy'n dymuno parhau â’u hastudiaethau neu ddechrau arnynt.


Byddwn yn gwneud diwygiadau i'n rheoliadau sy’n ymwneud â’r cymorth a roddir i fyfyrwyr, er mwyn i unigolion, sydd â chaniatâd i aros o dan gynlluniau fisa Llywodraeth y DU ar gyfer gwladolion Wcráin ac aelodau o'u teuluoedd, allu cael cymorth i fyfyrwyr, statws ffioedd cartref, a'r cap ar ffioedd dysgu israddedig. Mae’r cynlluniau fisa i bobl o Wcráin yn cynnwys y Cynllun Teuluoedd o Wcráin, y Cynllun Noddi ar gyfer Wcráin (Cartrefi i Wcráin), a Chynllun Estyn Cyfnod Gwladolion o Wcráin ar gyfer gwladolion o Wcráin neu aelodau agos o'u teulu a oedd eisoes yn y DU o dan lwybr fisa gwahanol.


Disgwylir i reoliadau gael eu gosod ym mis Gorffennaf, ac yn amodol ar gymeradwyaeth Senedd Cymru, rhagwelir y bydd myfyrwyr yn gallu cael gafael ar gyllid myfyrwyr ar gyfer eu hastudiaethau o 1 Awst 2022 ymlaen. Bydd angen i fyfyrwyr fodloni meini prawf cymhwystra penodol.


Mae’n hanfodol bod pobl sy’n ceisio noddfa yng Nghymru yn gallu manteisio ar gymorth i fyfyrwyr. Yn sgil hynny, mae modd iddynt fynychu cyrsiau addysg uwch i sicrhau y gallant anelu at y dyfodol, gwella eu sgiliau a gwella eu lles. Drwy estyn y cymorth i fyfyrwyr sy'n cyrraedd o Wcráin rydym yn gobeithio cynnig rhywfaint o sefydlogrwydd a sicrwydd yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn, gan hefyd sicrhau mynediad teg i ffoaduriaid ac i'r rhai sy'n ceisio noddfa yng Nghymru.


Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i'n prifysgolion, sydd wedi ymateb mewn ffordd dosturiol iawn i'r argyfwng dyngarol, ac wedi cefnogi cynllun Cenedl Noddfa Llywodraeth Cymru. Maent wedi parhau i gydweithio ag asiantaethau fel y Cyngor Academyddion Mewn Perygl (CARA) a Phrifysgolion Noddfa i sicrhau y gall cymorth i'r rhai sy'n ffoi rhag rhyfel, gwrthdaro ac erledigaeth ddod o hyd i le academaidd diogel i astudio yng Nghymru.


Dylai unrhyw un sy'n ceisio noddfa ac sy'n dymuno dechrau cwrs addysg uwch yn nhymor yr hydref siarad yn uniongyrchol â swyddfa derbyniadau’r brifysgol o'u dewis cyn gynted â phosibl. Mae'r broses dderbyn arferol ar gyfer Medi 2022 eisoes ar y gweill, ond gall prifysgolion gynnig cyngor a chymorth i unrhyw un sy'n dymuno astudio yng Nghymru.


Rydym yn benderfynol o wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i roi'r croeso cynhesaf posibl i bobl sy'n ceisio noddfa o Wcráin. Ac rydym am sicrhau bod myfyrwyr sy'n cyrraedd yma yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt i ddechrau cwrs addysg uwch ac addysg bellach neu i barhau â'u cwrs presennol.
