University and College Named Contacts for Estranged Students
University and College Named Contacts for Estranged Students
This blog provides links to further information for estranged students from Scotland's universities and some local colleges too.
Scotland's colleges and universities recognise the challenges estranged 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
- 52 week accommodation
- Access to student wellbeing services, counselling and health services
LEAPS can support LEAPS-eligible estranged students to initiate contact with named contacts 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 universities direct, using the information linked below - whichever method you prefer!
