EVENT: Access to HE Learner of the Year

Date: Wednesday 10 December 2014

Time: 12.00 - 13.30

Location: Senedd

Description: Agored Cymru is presenting its Access to HE Learner of the Year award. At Agored Cymru we are aware that Access to HE learners have faced or are facing significant barriers to their educational journey. They are often studying while undertaking caring responsibilities and/or working and therefore frequently suffer considerable financial hardship as a result of their decision to return to education. Case studies of AHE learners regularly highlight initial lack of confidence in their own abilities as well as the huge ‘distance travelled’ between enrolment on the course and the final award of the Access Diploma. The resources required to undertake a degree course are substantial and place strains on the finances of all students. The Agored Cymru Access to HE Learner of the year award provides an opportunity to reward this commitment to learning with a cash prize to help support the next stage of the educational journey

Open to the public: Yes
