Philanthropists play a crucial role in helping us grow established programmes, that have proven results in supporting less advantaged young people to access the most competitive universities. They also make a step change in establishing our newer programmes, in student success and parental engagement.
Our goal is to reach 100,000 students with our university access programmes, support 10,000 undergraduate students to transition to and succeed at university, and engage 1,000 parents on Parent Power over five years to 2026.
If we achieve this:
As a philanthropic supporter of The Brilliant Club will work with you to find the best way to match your philanthropic aims with our mission and provide you with regular updates on our progress and impact.
Students who participate in The Scholars Programme achieve higher grades at GCSE than other students from their schools with similar prior attainment. Our evaluation found that 75% of students who completed The Scholars Programme in Year 10 achieved a 9-5 in maths and English, compared to 50% of their peers.
For eight consecutive years, independent evaluation with UCAS has shown that Scholars Programme graduates progress to competitive universities at a higher rate than other students from similar backgrounds.
Our student success programme, Join the Dots, has been found to have a positive impact on all three intermediate outcomes we look at: academic self-efficacy, use of metacognitive study strategies, and sense of belonging at university. These all support the long-term outcomes we expect to see, i.e. for students to continue into second year of university and complete their degree course with a strong degree.
