Partner Colleges and Schools Sample Clauses

Partner Colleges and Schools. A key component of the University’s strategy for widening participation is the University’s transition support service offered to prospective DMU students in partner colleges and schools. The University wishes to make Higher Education and DMU a real option for students with little or no family participation in HE. The Transition Teams will target approximately 50 schools and colleges in the region and work with those students most at risk of dropping out of HE. Key features include: • Transition support from HE guidance workers and mentors to develop skills and enable smooth transition to HE through increased awareness of the different learning styles required at this level. • On-going transition support to students in DMU’s partner colleges and institutions to maintain and support DMU’s profile • The scheme combines the ethos of widening participation from non- traditional groups with the concern for ensuring the quality of student intake. • The guidance package will also address the concern that students from non- traditional backgrounds can be less well-prepared for university and at an increased risk of withdrawal. • We will continue to evaluate the transition support model for its wider applicability to student support – particularly those activities concerned with transition, induction and retention. • The service will be promoted via Student Advisers and WP Co-Ordinators in partner schools and colleges. The cost of the scheme to cover student transition support over the three-year period is estimated at £125,000 pa.

Such students are likely to be disproportionately affected by this deficit, and the bursary is a means of addressing this issue. The Looked-After Children Bursary Scheme is a new initiative and aims to provide help with the transition to university of a group of young people who do not have the traditional family support to call upon and thus to improve the overall ability of such students to reach and succeed in HE. The Opportunities Bursary Scheme is also intended to widen participation by encouraging students entering on the basis of non-traditional access qualifications. The number of such bursaries is doubled to up to sixty per annum for 2007/08, having been successfully introduced in 2006 with 30 bursary awards to be allocated. The new Regional Bursaries Sch...
