Bristol Scholars

The Bristol Scholars Scheme allows Headteachers and Heads of Post-16 to nominate Year 13/Access to HE students based on their individual circumstances and academic potential. If eligible for the programme, these students will receive a guaranteed, tailored offer from the University of Bristol. For interviewing subjects, providing subject requirements are met, Bristol Scholars are guaranteed an interview rather than an offer. 
 
Bristol Scholars receive pre-entry support, including e-mentoring from a current University of Bristol student, designed to empower Bristol Scholars to succeed in post-16 education and therefore enable them to progress to study with the University.

The scheme intends to:

• capture the talent we know exists in our locality
• demonstrate the University's commitment to Bristol's schools and colleges
• provide alternative entry routes into our courses.

The tailored offer is intended to reflect that a student's predicted results, or performance in Year 12, may not reflect their true academic ability. Tailored offers are made with the understanding that students who have overcome challenges during their studies will have every chance of succeeding at the University, especially when engaging with the bespoke support offered as part of the Bristol Scholars programme.

Please note application to this programme are teacher-led.
