Award-winning First Generation Programme
The First Generation Scholarship Programme supports young people from the North West, whose parents or guardians did not go to university.
Scholars receive ongoing financial, pastoral and extracurricular support from pre-entry, including help with applying and preparing for university.
Watch this video with scholar Caley to hear how First Generation is transforming her life and the ‘domino effect’ of the programme.
Thanks to people like you, we’re on track to meet our goal of raising £2 million. Read our latest First Generation Annual Impact Report.
