Evaluation of Aimhigher: Excellence Challenge : first survey of opportunity bursary applicants 2002/03: preliminary findings

Year: 2005

Type: other

Abstract: Given that concern has been expressed in some circles that variable fees, due to be introduced from 2006, may deter students from more disadvantaged groups entering higher education, the findings suggest that the new Higher Education Grant (introduced in September 2004) should also have a positive effect in relation to these groups who are currently under-represented in higher education.This report focuses on Strand 4 and provides findings from the first survey of young people who were eligible for, and applied for Opportunity Bursaries to begin in 2002/03 (see West et al., 2003b, for the findings relating to those who applied to begin in 2001/02).
