Care Leavers

The University of Glasgow encourages applications from all qualified students and is extremely keen to hear from young people who have been looked after by their Local Authority in foster or residential care. If you are leaving care or have previously spent time in care and are thinking of applying to the University, there is a range of services and provision that Glasgow can offer you. For example, we may be able to provide 365-day a year accommodation and there may be financial support available. We have a dedicated Care Leaver Support Coordinator who will be able to provide any help, advice and guidance you may need.

The University of Glasgow is committed to increasing the numbers of care leavers going to university. As such we may be able to offer you an adjusted offer for entry. If you think that Glasgow may be right for you, then we hope that these pages will give you the information that you need to apply to us.

Remember, if you are applying to the University through UCAS, make sure you tick the box which asks if you have been in care. This will enable us to contact you at the application stage and give you more information about the kind of support we can offer. It will also put you in touch with our Care Leaver Support Coordinator.
