Want to go to university? Look out for the Quality Mark The Quality Mark is a set of standards we at Buttle UK have created for you. Universities (and colleges) that sign up to the Quality Mark commit to supporting you when you apply to them and once you have started your course. We monitor how they perform to make sure you get what you need to study, succeed and move on to the next stage in your life. What can I expect? At the very least you should expect: A named contact . Every university with the Quality Mark has someone who is there to support Care Leavers. They will talk to you about what they can offer you. Money . Specific financial support for students who have been in care - this might be a bursary (money to help you during your course which you don't have to pay back), or advice about what extra funding you might be entitled to as a care leaver. Accommodation . All universities with the Quality Mark will be able to help you get somewhere to stay throughout your course and even during the holidays. Get in contact early and they can make sure you get a place in university halls or flats. Support . Someone to talk to about anything you are worried about, no matter what it is. This person can support you personally or will direct you to someone else who can. Each university also offers lots more support
