• University Bursary programme: providing students with high financial need with bursaries ranging from £3,000 to £50,000 to support them to access Higher Education.
• Next Steps programme: supporting alumni with their transition from school and into their early career. This launched in September in response to the school and university closures because of the pandemic. Outgoing Year 13s have been provided with a mentor from the alumni network at the same university or doing the same course as them. These volunteer mentors from the alumni network have become Alumni Leaders and will benefit from mentoring from one of our industry partners, free accredited training, and an ongoing series of events to support them to enter their early career.
