This #trusteesweek we want to celebrate our amazing trustees. We're so grateful for the range of expertise & experience they bring to our board and their unwavering support of our mission to support underrepresented students into #topthird universities. Thank you to our trustees!

Going to university is one of the best choices a young person can make to increase their chances of succeeding in work & life. Though difficult, the decision to increase tuition fees is crucial to protect the funding designed to close the access gap.
