We're calling on the new government to protect young peoples' futures. Here's what we want to see:
✅ Increase maintenance support
✅ Sharia-compliant student loans
✅ Increase scholarships and bursaries
✅ Transparency about the costs of university
✅ More financial education

New research launched today at @AccessProjectUK into how the cost of living crisis is affecting university choices for under-resourced students.
Rising costs are creating more barriers for students and support must increase to maintain access for all

🚨New cost of living research blog post 🚨
At @AccessProjectUK collaborating with students as co-investigators was a key priority for this project, and working with Riveen and Ismail was such a pleasure from start to finish.
Hear about their experience- theaccessproject.org.uk/blog…

Important words from @pmdfoster on the risk of closure at universities across England- this only worsens the worry across the widening participation space that less resource will be put into access and student support for the most disadvantaged pupils

EXC: Universities in England face risk of "closure" as student numbers fall, the Office for Students will warn tomorrow -- have advance extracts of annual report.
Finds 40pc unis in defict; applications falling when unis were betting on 25-35% growth😬

Excellent news 🌟
UCAS is waiving the £28.50 application fee for students in receipt of free school meals. Any student eligible for FSM who is applying for 2025 university entry can qualify for the waiver.
Big step towards levelling the playing field for low-income students 👍

📢With the aim of removing the initial financial hurdle to attending higher education, today we’ve announced that students in receipt of free school meals will no longer have to pay for their university application.
