A bank has announced the reopening of a successful fund for sixth-form students from low-income backgrounds.
Atom bank, called the UK’s most trusted bank on Trustpilot, has announced the re-opening of its Atom Futures Fund, which it runs in partnership with Point North.
The fund was set up to support sixth-form students from low-income backgrounds, those in the care system, or those who are carers, to apply to and attend a Russell Group university.
The fund supports study in any subject at the 24 research-intensive universities that are part of the Russell Group.
The scheme is targeted at year 13 students in state-funded education in County Durham.
After last year’s success, Point North is once again accepting applications for Part One of the Atom Futures Fund.
This offers a £250 financial incentive to at least 20 eligible Year 13 students in County Durham who are applying to any course at a Russell Group University.
