• There are bursaries and grants available

Breaking Barriers• Raising aspirations = raising attainmentYou are the key person who will raise aspirations. Your role is important!• Parental influenceBe aware that there may not be support at home. There may even be active discouragement.• Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG)You could be the first and only point of IAG for some learners. Therefore the information that you give is important. Don’t use jargon.• University is not a natural first choice for many young people, even if
they have the potential.• Staying local is OK!Share your experience of moving away but staying local is sometimes a better option for some people.
