For those students without support networks, the struggle is even greater. They’re missing out on crucial opportunities to build skills and connections that could shape their futures.

Scholarships play a pivotal role in creating an equal playing field for and build a student's self-confidence. Progression Scholarships provide £2,000 a year to students from low income backgrounds or whose ethnicity is Black or Black-Mixed.
Our Wellbeing Champions initiative helps students' self-efficacy in managing their own wellbeing while equipping them to support others.
