Win a £5,000 Scholarship
We’ve partnered with Santander Universities to offer two £5,000 scholarships to support our students during the 2025/26 academic year.
This scholarship is designed to help with education-related costs – from tuition fees and course materials to accommodation and career development.
Please note that priority will be given to applicants who are Care Experienced or estranged from their families – see below for full eligibility criteria.

Priority will be given to applicants who are Care Experienced (anyone who has lived in some form of care at any point in their life such as foster care, residential care, kinship care, local authority care or looked after at home under the supervision of social services) or estranged from their families.
