University and College Named Contacts for Care Experienced Students
University and College Named Contacts for Care Experienced Students
This blog provides links to where you can find details of the named contact for care experienced students at Scotland's universities and some local colleges too.
Scotland's colleges and universities recognise the challenges care experienced students can face in accessing and progressing through Higher Education, so many have additional supports in place, both pre-entry and throughout. Support varies across institutions, and may include:
- Pre-application support
- A named contact for support throughout studies
- Access to additional funds
- Year-round accommodation
- Access to student wellbeing services, counselling and health services
- Support to take part in extra-curricular activities and mentoring programmes
LEAPS can support LEAPS-eligible care experienced students to initiate contact with the named contact at the institution(s) they are considering or planning to study at, to discuss what support is available and to put this in place in time for starting the course. Get in touch with us and we can make an introduction between you and any named contacts you'd like to speak with. Or you can contact a named contact direct, using links below to find the relevant contact and their details - whichever method you prefer!
