Record success in applications
Students at the newly formed All Saints Sixth Form College in Liverpool have achieved record success in their applications for the prestigious University of Liverpool scholars programme.
Eight students applied and met the academic and personal criteria needed to gain entry to the scheme.
Once accepted onto the programme there are so many benefits for the students. The university organises a programme of events throughout Year 12 in which students attend events to provide valuable insight in to studying at university including both academic expectations as well as the social aspect.
Students learn about the academia through a series of bespoke workshops, lectures and seminars. These prepare students for completion of an academic assignment fully supported academic tutor provided by the university.
Upon successful completion of the assignment, students receive a conditional offer of a place to study at their preferred university. Once students begin studying at the university a bursary of up to £2,000 is payable for each year of their study.
This opportunity forms part of the futures gateway programme at the college aimed to inspire students and guide them into further education, higher level apprenticeships or employment and is a really positive achievement for students at All Saints Sixth Form.
