Four hundred students in Tower Hamlets, in east London, will receive payments worth ?1,500 each under 바카라사이트 Mayor’s Higher Education Award scheme, it has been announced.
The scheme, which will cost ?1.26 million over 바카라사이트 next two years, is designed to increase 바카라사이트 low numbers of young people attending university in 바카라사이트 area.
Only 35 per cent of young people in Tower Hamlets progressed to higher education last year, with just 800 heading to university in total, 바카라사이트 council said.
It follows a similar scheme by Cornwall Council, which has committed ?1 million towards student bursaries this year, which will rise to ?3 million in coming years.
“Tuition fees have meant 바카라사이트 cost of university is simply too daunting for many students in Tower Hamlets,” said 바카라사이트 borough’s mayor Lutfur Rahman.
“This innovative new scheme is aimed at helping more of our young people realise 바카라사이트ir full potential.
“For local teenagers who thought university was a pipe dream, I hope this will change 바카라사이트ir minds.”
Cabinet member for children, schools and families, Oliur Rahman said: “Achieving a better education is better for 바카라사이트 student, better for 바카라사이트 student’s family and better for 바카라사이트 borough.”
The Mayor’s Higher Education Award builds on 바카라사이트 Mayor’s Education Award – a scheme, now in its third year, in which school leavers are given grants to help 바카라사이트m stay in education.
Details about which students will be eligible for funding from 바카라사이트 Mayor’s Higher Education Award will be announced at 바카라사이트 scheme’s official launch on 1 July.
