We're calling on the new government to protect young peoples' futures. Here's what we want to see:

✅ Increase maintenance support
✅ Sharia-compliant student loans
✅ Increase scholarships and bursaries
✅ Transparency about the costs of university
✅ More financial education

New research launched today at @AccessProjectUK into how the cost of living crisis is affecting university choices for under-resourced students.

Rising costs are creating more barriers for students and support must increase to maintain access for all

🚨New cost of living research blog post 🚨

At @AccessProjectUK collaborating with students as co-investigators was a key priority for this project, and working with Riveen and Ismail was such a pleasure from start to finish.

Hear about their experience- https://t.co/flPO1T8zmm

Excellent event by @Policy_Connect @EduSkillsPC and @SMCommission at @UKHouseofLords on 'Developing Skills and Talent'

Wisdom from Prof Sharon Gerwitz on bringing young people into the room and providing them with 1-1 support.

That's what we do at @AccessProjectUK

Important words from @pmdfoster on the risk of closure at universities across England- this only worsens the worry across the widening participation space that less resource will be put into access and student support for the most disadvantaged pupils

#universities #students

[Peter Foster @pmdfoster]

EXC: Universities in England face risk of "closure" as student numbers fall, the Office for Students will warn tomorrow -- have advance extracts of annual report.
Finds 40pc unis in defict; applications falling when unis were betting on 25-35% growth😬

Amazing session by @ViviFriedgut from @blackbullion at the @HELOA_UK conference today

Students are facing intense financial challenges in this cost-of-living 'condition' (love this reframing)

This is exactly what we are hearing in our research- https://t.co/ByDDQXGZ7g

[Dr Adam Runacres @AdamRunacres]

@amitkaushiktw Congratulations @amitkaushiktw, looking forward to reading!

[Dr Adam Runacres @AdamRunacres]

@HEPI_news research has shown the true cost of attending university- this is exactly the type of information that our students expressed the need for- https://t.co/SA0cPK0jeW

[Dr Adam Runacres @AdamRunacres]

As part of ongoing research into the cost of living crisis, we spoke to @AccessProjectUK Year 12 students about how it is affecting their university choices

Read our latest blog post to hear directly from them!

“It’s kind of scary."

📉 The cost of living crisis is making student life financially untenable, particularly for those from under-resourced backgrounds.
