Petition Fund university scholarships for minorities and disadvantaged students
We want the Government to provide funding for university scholarships for students from ethnic minorities, disabled people, low-income families, and so on, because they deserve opportunities to attend higher education without financial burdens.
More details
Data published by the Office for Students shows that 81.6% of students from the most deprived backgrounds completed their course, compared to 92.2% from the most advantaged group.
We must strive for 100% of students completing their courses, because every one of those pupils has a light within them that is ready to shine. We can help achieve each and every one of these desired futures with the assistance of the Government.
