University

If you decide to go to university, we will assist you with your housing during holiday periods and provide you with extra financial support:

• we will pay for your accommodation costs (to a maximum of £6000 per academic year)
• we will help you complete your application for tuition fees
• we will assist you with the initial costs of moving to and from university
• you will be eligible to apply for a student loan
• you will receive a £2000 bursary from the Virtual School in your first year of university
• you may also be entitled to additional support from the university who often have additional funds and grants for care leavers which your PA can help you access

There is additional support available to you if you go on to attend university. This can be from a designated person within the university who your PA will help you to identify.
