Our care experienced and estranged students scheme supports students who have been in care or are estranged from their parents.
New and continuing home undergraduate students who have previously lived in care, a foyer, who are estranged from their parents, young adult carers or young refugees.
You must be:
- fee-assessed as a home student
- studying full-time and paying fees of £9,250 per year
- aged under 25 at the start of your course
Please note: Students will need to provide evidence to show they have lived in care or have lived in a foyer during the year before commencing study at UEL. Estranged students will need to provide evidence to show that they are currently estranged from their biological or adoptive parent/s.
A non-repayable cash award of £1,000 for students who have previously lived in care, a foyer, are estranged from their biological parents (usually for a period of 12 months or more), young adult carers or young refugees. Please note students who choose to live in University-owned accommodation will receive an additional award of £500 paid directly to their rent account.
