Care leaver bursary

We are committed to supporting young people in or leaving care to progress to higher education.

We offer a bursary of £2,000 for each year of your course.

We offer a range of activities and support to looked after children, care leavers and their care workers to help raise aspirations, provide information and support, and to encourage care leavers to reach their potential.

  • Full-time student.
  • Home student entitled to student funding from SFE, SFW, SFNI or SAAS.
  • Under the age of 25
