Tell me more

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 at university. That includes all through the holidays too, so you don’t have to wonder where to go during Christmas or summer. You can even stay the summer after you graduate to plan your next move. The Unite Foundation and your university team will help you settle in, keep in touch and offer opportunities for employment and enjoyment. So far, over 950 estranged and care experienced young people have gone to university on the Unite Foundation scholarship.
