Edinburgh Cares: support for care-experienced students, estranged students and student carers
If you’re care-experienced, an estranged student or a student carer then we can give you extra support before you apply, during the UCAS application process and while you’re at the University.
Care-experienced students
If you are care experienced, we can help you with the university application process, give you financial help and access to all year-around accommodation if you need it plus support you throughout your degree.
Estranged students
If you have no contact with your family or guardians, we can help you with the university application process, find financial help and access to all year-round accommodation if you need it, plus support you throughout your degree.
Student carers
If you give unpaid care to a family member, guardian or friend, we can help you with the university application process, find financial help and support you throughout your degree.
