The Find Your Future scheme is open to recipients of our Care Leavers and Estranged Student Scholarships and is worth £500 for each year of study. This bursary is designed to encourage you to take those first steps in considering how to:
- enhance your CV
- add to your transferable skills, or
- just get involved in something new.
To be eligible for this bursary, you:
- must be under the age of 25, and
- must have been assessed as independent and recognised as either a care leaver or estranged by Student Finance England or an equivalent organisation.
You do not need to apply for this bursary - instead, you just need to attend an appointment with one of our Careers or Opportunities staff and then complete a short survey. Your funds will be paid to you in one instalment once we receive your completed survey. You are not tied to how you spend these funds. Eligible students will be contacted at the start of Semester 2 to advise them of how they can book their appointments.
