Having somewhere of your own to call home matters. With the Unite Foundation scholarship, you’ll have accommodation and bills covered for up to 3 years of study. That includes all through the holidays too, so you don’t have to wonder where to go during reading weeks or over Christmas or summer. You can even stay the summer after you graduate to plan your next move. The Unite Foundation team will help you settle in, keep in touch and offer plenty of opportunities for employment and enjoyment. So far, over 500 estranged and care experienced young people have gone to university on the Unite Foundation scholarship, are you next?

You can apply for the scholarship if you’re:

1. 25 or under
2. A statutory care leaver or estranged from your family
3. Starting or studying your first undergraduate degree
4. Eligible for UK home fee status
5. Applying to one of the Unite Foundation’s partner universities (see ‘Where you can study’)

Covid-19 is affecting a lot of life right now and unfortunately this means scholarship applications are closed for the 2021/22 academic year. If you’re already on the scholarship, don’t worry, nothing will change for you.

The Unite Foundation looks forward to accepting new applications in January 2022 for anyone looking to join the scholarship in September 2022. If you would like more information about how to apply, get in touch with the Unite Foundation team and and, as always, they will be happy to help!

We come from all over the UK and many of us will be studying in the same cities, universities or living in the same student accommodation. When you join uni with Unite Foundation, you’ll also be able to join our social network. This makes meeting up with other scholars easy. You can also get involved in social media, marketing and other events to stretch your network and boost your CV.
