We support young people facing the biggest barriers to higher education including: those eligible for free school meals, those living in the most deprived postcodes by IDACI and those with no parental history of higher education.
We support parents in less advantaged communities, focusing particularly on parents from low income backgrounds, those with no personal history of higher education and BAME parents.

More young people from less advantaged backgrounds apply and progress to the most competitive universities.
Increase in GCSE attainment for less advantaged young people, closing the attainment gap.
Increase students’ academic skills including critical thinking, written communication and subject knowledge.
Increase students’ academic self-efficacy including university knowledge, belief in their academic abilities and sense of belonging.
I'd completely ruled out the top universities as I didn't think I could get into them but The Scholars Programme helped me realise that I could get into any place I wanted to if I tried hard enough. It really opened up the options I’d given myself.
Having collaborated with and supported The Brilliant Club for many years, we continue to be impressed at its impact in assisting less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities.
