The Sutton Trust – Help your students apply to university in the USA
Applications for the Sutton Trust US Programme are open!
The Sutton Trust US Programme supports students from state schools across the UK to explore and access leading US universities. In the past nine years, in partnership with the experts at the Fulbright Commission, we have helped more than 400 British students get places and funding at top US universities.
This free programme includes two virtual residentials before a week in the US staying on a leading US university campus and visiting a variety of other American universities. We will continue to support students throughout Year 13 for both US and UK university applications via our brand-new platform, Sutton Trust Online!
Please note that the health and safety of our young people and our staff takes top priority. This may mean we need to adjust our plans, and deliver US weeks in a virtual format this year. We will provide further details to accepted students.
This programme is completely free for students. All costs are covered by the programme – including travel, food, accommodation, admissions test preparation and more.
For interested applicants, parents, and teachers we are holding an informational webinar on Wednesday, 19 November at 4:00pm.
Who are we looking for?
To be eligible to apply, your students must:
- Currently be in Year 12 in England and Wales, S5 in Scotland or Year 13 in Northern Ireland
- Attend, and have always attended, a state-funded school or college
- Not hold US citizenship
- Be from a low or middle income family (generally, this will mean a household earning £45,000 or less)
Applicants should be high-achieving and are more likely to gain a place if they meet additional social mobility criteria. Please visit our website for how to apply, and full eligibility criteria.
How to support your students’ application
Share this opportunity with your students who meet the above criteria. We strongly advise students begin their application early as the application form requires some thinking! They must also nominate someone at their school to fill out a reference alongside their application.
Key dates
- Application deadline – 17 January 2021
- School reference deadline – 21 January 2021
- Decisions released – Late February 2021

The University of Sheffield 2020/21
This year is presenting many challenges when it comes to delivering teaching and HE guidance to your students, and we would like to offer our support as best we can.
During the first half term of the academic year, we have delivered dozens of virtual sessions to schools and colleges, and a few face to face ones too!
As we enter another lockdown, I’m getting in touch to let you know how we can virtually support your students through the university application process.
The response to our virtual sessions has been very positive so far, and by using our Blackboard platform for the majority of sessions, means we can present to multiple groups simultaneously, and even to students working from home if required.
We have a wide range of HE talks, designed to meet Gatsby benchmarks, which we would be delighted to deliver to your students at a time that works for you. The format, content and timings of these talks are very flexible, so please don’t hesitate to request something more bespoke, including subject specific talks.
We have over 16 online taster lectures available to book in a broad range of subject areas. A great way for students to explore potential degrees and an activity which can also double up as personal statement content.
We are running a series of UCAS themed ‘twilight sessions’ every Wednesday 4pm-6pm where students can drop in to ask us their questions and get application tips and advice. Register your interest and sign up for a taster session
We also have a number of online resources, presentations and activities on our Virtual Schools Hub which your students and their supporters can take advantage of.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to request a bespoke talk or a Q&A session for your students.

Lancaster University – Business and Management Masterclasses
Hello from the Student Recruitment Team
Lancaster University Management School Masterclass Week
Monday 30th November to Thursday 3rd December 2020 – Schedule
here are many different disciplines within the area of business. Some are highly numerical and teach analytical skills, while others place more emphasis on creativity, or intercultural understanding, or innovation.
Even if you already have some knowledge of a subject, perhaps through studying it at school or college, you might want to know more about what it is like to study that subject at university.
We will be hosting a week of short, online sessions, aimed at prospective undergraduates, to help you get a taste of what it is like to study business subjects and answer any questions you may have about applying to university.
