Undergraduate Scholarship Programme for Care Leavers (UK)

The Open University, in collaboration with the John Lewis Partnership, offers young people who have experienced care the opportunity to study for a free undergraduate qualification.

The Care Experienced Scholarship programme offers four full undergraduate scholarships for 2025/26 to young people aged 25 and under who have spent time in care and faced significant barriers to entering and succeeding in higher education.

Those who successfully apply for the scholarship can study flexibly, including spreading their learning over more than three years, to accommodate family or existing work commitments.

Applications close at midday on the 30th July 2025.
