IntoUniversity
IntoUniversity works in low-income communities, in partnership with schools with high proportion of students on free school meals. These youngsters are more likely to underachieve at school and are consequently less likely to go to university and enjoy a professional career as a result. Of their alumni, 82% go to University compared to 20% of their peer group from similar backgrounds.
Through its growing network of learning centres, it provides study support, an enhanced curriculum and further education support to children and young people who may not otherwise consider that university is for them.
We are now supporting 22 IntoUniversity centres in 7 cities. Together, these centres will provide practical help to over 25,000 children and young people.
