If you are planning to go to university, we will help you understand your accommodation options and access the support available.
Before you start university
We can help you:
- apply for student accommodation
- explore university accommodation offers for care leavers
- access accommodation funding
- prepare for moving away from home
During term time
We will work with you to make sure you have suitable accommodation while studying. Some universities provide additional accommodation support or scholarship schemes for care leavers.
Don't want to live in halls?
We will support you to find alternative accommodation such as staying put arrangements, family and friends or other rented accommodation.
During university holidays
If you need somewhere to stay outside term time, we will help you explore suitable options, including:
- returning to your former foster carer
- staying with family or friends
- alternative accommodation arrangements
Moving to university
We can help you prepare for university life and make sure you have the essential items you need for your new accommodation.
