Looking for a fresh start or to go back into study? It’s never too late! The Open University’s Carers Scholarship Fund is the very first of its kind in the UK. They have already provided the equivalent of 90 full Open University scholarships to carers so they get the chance to study, develop their sense of identity outside the caring role and retrain towards seeking new employment.
They aim to make a further 20 scholarships available in the 2022/2023 academic year, with six scholarships reserved for applicants aged 25 and under.
To qualify, you need to be a carer who cares for an average of 15 hours a week, or have been a carer in the last two years, who cared for an average of 15 hours a week, but are no longer a carer due to bereavement.
Applications close midnight 24th June 2022.
