Warwick scholars
The University of Warwick has launched Warwick Scholars, a new programme aimed at removing educational, financial and social barriers to a Warwick education, focusing on prospective students from under-represented groups or disadvantaged background within a 30-mile commute of Warwick’s main campus.
The programme aims to enable participants to reach their full academic potential and prepare for the transition to Warwick, achieving the best possible A level grades. It will include mentoring from current undergraduate students, 1:1 online tuition for one of their A level subjects, skills support, and information, advice and guidance around the transition to Warwick.
Successful participants can expect to receive admissions offers between 2-4 grades below Warwick’s standard A level offer, a 50% tuition fee discount per year of study, and access to a means-tested bursary of £2,000 per year. This will run alongside continued support throughout their studies with priority access to careers advice and guidance, as well as help accessing work experience, internships and study abroad opportunities.
Applications are now open for current year 12 students who are intending on applying to Warwick for 2020 entry, who live or attend a state school or college within 30 miles of the University of Warwick. Applications can be made online at warwick.ac.uk/warwickscholarsuntil Friday 19th July 2019 and places will be allocated according to our eligibility criteria as outlined on the website.
