Thanks for your interest in supporting a young person with their university application!  🎓

Many of the students on our programme don't have a family history of attending university, so the important step of the personal statement is a new and daunting experience for them. Similarly, lots of their schools just don't have capacity or the subject-specialist knowledge to give them the support they need. This is why your help with our Personal Statement Checking Service is invaluable. More information here: Volunteer Pack.

This short form asks for some personal information to start your journey. This is so we can:
  • Contact you 
  • Understand your higher education qualifications and the job role and sector you work in - we'll use this to match you with a young person's personal statement(s)
