# The Scholars Programme

The Scholars Programme involves PhD tutors sharing their subject knowledge and passion for learning with small groups of pupils aged 8-18.

Not only has the programme been shown to have a positive impact on GCSE attainment, but it helps the students involved to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required for securing a place at a competitive university.

The programme is available to non-selective state schools across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and lasts about 8 weeks. It includes seven tutorials, which take place in school, and a Graduation Event, at a partner university, where students can speak with current undergraduates and learn about university life.

Each Scholars Programme placement is for 14 pupils, who are taught in two groups of seven. They work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.
