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:

Our evaluation shows that The Scholars Programme raises attainment at GCSE. Students with average attainment at the end of primary school who participated in The Scholars Programme in Year 10 were twice as likely to achieve 9-5 in their maths and English GCSEs than peers from their local authority with similar prior attainment.
For seven 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: self-efficacy, study strategy use, and sense of belonging. 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.
