Universify Education Fund a Universify Student on our programme
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

£650 funds one student on our year-long programme. During our programme, students experience university life during two residentials at our partner Oxbridge colleges, and receive monthly remote coaching by current or recent undergraduate volunteer coaches. Our aim is to equip our students with the aspirations, grades and knowledge to make an informed decision about where and whether they want to attend higher education.
