Future U announces ‘Progression Visit Travel Fund’

Future U is excited to announce the launch of its “Progression Visit Travel Fund”.

Previously, we have only been able to subsidise travel to universities, but this offer has now been widened out to potentially include any visits that will support learners’ progression. This means you can use the fund to support you towards reaching Gatsby benchmarks around encounters with employers and experiences of workplaces (5 & 6) as well as encounters with further and higher education (7).

You can request funds from Future U by filling out the form, which will ask for details of the visit. 

Future U will then consider each request on a case-by-case basis and offer a contribution towards the cost of transport on the condition that the learners participating in the visit receive a pre and post visit activity from Future U. 

Requests that reach more learners from UniConnect target postcodes and those from broader Widening Participation groups will be more likely to be successful and will also receive a greater contribution towards the total cost of transport.

Please click here and complete the form to request a financial contribution.
