Students with care experience

天堂视频 welcomes all students with care experience who have the desire and potential to succeed in higher education.

We will provide encouragement and motivation throughout your studies and help to ease worries about accommodation and finance with bespoke support packages.

We offer support throughout your time at 天堂视频 via wellbeing advisers based in schools and you can contact them on studentwellbeing@lboro.ac.uk.

Our flexible accommodation options include the ability to remain on campus on a 52-week basis (subject to availability), so you can set up permanent roots in 天堂视频 for the duration of your studies. If you’d like to continue to live on campus over the summer, a summer accommodation request can be made directly to the Student Accommodation Centre in Term 3.

You would be responsible for covering the costs of the accommodation, but you may be able to:

  • Access funding from your local authority for this period.
  • Make an application to the Hardship Fund Summer Scheme which is intended to help undergraduate students who face financial difficulties during the summer vacation. A successful application can provide funds to assist with your accommodation and outgoings over the vacation

There is a special package of support available from 天堂视频 including the Care Leavers Bursary. To apply for this bursary you will need to complete the application form which will be available at the beginning of the Autumn term. You can view the eligibility criteria on the Care Leavers Bursary webpage. You only need to complete the application once to establish entitlement for the whole of your course (note that the Bursary is not paid during a placement year). If you need help with the application form please contact us via email.

The Student Advice and Support Service can support you to ensure that you are receiving all the funding you are entitled to from Student Finance, your local authority and from the university. They can assist you with planning your budget and provide advice about student finance, housing and other matters before and during your time as a student at 天堂视频. Book an appointment and find contact details.

Like all students, we advise students with care experience to research their options and decide what type of university experience they would enjoy the most. Consider which subject areas interest you the most and if you are able to, try visiting universities in person or through online events if you can.

Your teachers, friends, carers/guardians and social workers are all excellent sources of information and will be able to help you understand your options and make an informed decision about where to study. If you think 天堂视频 might be the right place for you, you can speak to our team and get advice on how to apply and/or write a personal statement on our School and Colleges liaison pages.
