Diğer uygunluk kriterleri

Marjon is committed to supporting students who are in or leaving care before and throughout their studies at university.

If you are leaving care or are estranged from your parents and family and making the decision to go to university you may have lots of questions, we can and will help you every step of the way.

The support you need

We can provide:

• A dedicated, named adviser.
• Help with completing your UCAS application form.
• Help with applying for student finance.
• Individual visits and meetings with you, and your Personal Adviser/Carer, prior to arrival.
• An annual grant of £2,000 for care leavers* and £1,000 for estranged students
• Unlimited help with getting part-time and/or full-time employment, both during your studies and up to three years after you graduate.

A care leaver is a young person who has been in care for a minimum of 13 weeks, some of which was after age 16; they are entitled to continuing support from their local authority until age 25.
