HE REACH (Racial Equality and Cultural Heritage) Scholarship

The HE REACH Scholarship is a £4000* fee waiver for each year of your course. There is a maximum of two scholarships available per academic year. You can apply for this scholarship if you:

‍Are from an underrepresented ethnic background  

OR

Live in an area of disadvantage where your home postcode at the start of your course is identified as being in IMD Quintile 1 or 2. IMD is the Index of Multiple Deprivation which measures relative deprivation in local areas.

OR  

Live in an area of low participation in HE where your home postcode at the start of your course is identified as being in POLAR4 Quintile 1 or 2. POLAR4 is a statistical measure which looks at how likely young people are to participate in higher education across the UK.

‍Please contact our Admissions Team at HEAdmissions@sgscol.ac.uk and we will check whether your home postcode is eligible for a REACH scholarship and advise you of the conditions that apply.

Scholars will be required to act as HE Ambassadors and represent the College in at least three events per academic year as part of their scholarship.

*Part time applicants will receive 50% of the bursary value
