Care leaver students joining a full time undergraduate degree programme in September 2025 at Liverpool Hope University and who are aged under 25 at the start of the course will need to provide evidence of a minimum of 13 weeks spent in Local Authority care since the age of 14 and were in care on or after their 16th birthday (usually in the form of a letter from the Local Authority/Support Organisation).
Eligible residential students will be offered a 50% discount on accommodation (including the summer) and a catering package equivalent in value to one hot meal par day. In addition to this any deposits needed to secure the accommodation would be waived.
Non-resident students will be offered a bursary of £1,000 each year to be paid in 3 instalments in line with the current scholarship payment arrangements and a catering package equivalent in value to one hot meal par day.
The above would cover the period totalling the normal length of their course. Payments are dependent on the students being fully engaged with their studies and maintaining good academic progress.
