What are the under-represented groups in higher education?

Home / Help and advice / Finance and scholarships / Scholarships / What are the underrepresented groups in HE?

Our priority for bursaries are the students from groups under-represented in higher education. The Office for Students (the higher education regulator) has defined these as:

  • Care-experienced
  • Estranged
  • Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, Showmen and Boaters (GTRSB)
  • Asylum Seekers and Refugees
  • Carers
  • Students from lower income households
  • Mature students

Take a look at the scholarships and bursaries section of our website for eligibility criteria and application information for every scholarship and bursary we offer.
