Ever been in care?
Why are we asking? You may have noticed that the UCAS application asks if you have been in care and for how long. It is not because we are being nosey, and it will definitely not affect your chances of getting a place at Salford. It is simply because we recognise that some care leavers may face different and/or multiple hurdles in coming to university and succeeding to the best of their ability.
This may include specific financial worries, problems at home which may need to be taken into account, tailored accommodation arrangements, study support, confidence building or emotional support. Then again you may not need this type of support at all!
Confidentiality is important to us, and we will always respect this. However sometimes, to ensure that you receive the best possible support we may have to inform other people. Before we do this we will ask you. Let us know if you are a care leaver
What we can offer
The University of Salford is committed to providing the right support for all students, so we have developed a package of support for care leavers.
