Finance and funding for care experienced students

Many students are worried about managing their money – and if you're in care, or have experience of being in care in the past, this may seem like a particular challenge. But there's lots of help for you.

Finding university accommodation

If your child has their heart set on university halls, they’ll need to do their research and apply early. Places aren’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to encourage them to think about alternative accommodation, which can be equally fun and provide a safe living environment.

First-generation students

Students who do not have parents or carers who have attended university themselves sometimes find it useful to have additional information and help when making their decisions and applying to higher education.

Graduate schemes and entry-level jobs

Finding your first full-time job after you graduate can be a challenge, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the UK jobs system. There are a few types of roles that you can get after university, each with its own strengths, weaknesses and application requirements.
