If teachers would like to support pupils in applying for funded places on the Accelerate programme, they should first complete the Accelerate Funded Place Applicant Details spreadsheet with details of pupils who are interested in attending the programme. This will allow us to see if pupils match our widening access criteria and we will award places on the programme based on this.
All potential applicants should also complete the Accelerate Pupil Personal Statement form explaining why they would like to participate in the programme. The pupils’ statements will also be taken into consideration in the selection process.
The deadline for expressions of interest for places is 22nd March. If you have interested pupils, please return this spreadsheet and the pupils’ personal statements to accelerate-programme@strath.ac.uk by then.
Schools should share the Accelerate Funded Places Privacy Notice with pupils whose details you are sending us.
Applying for a funded place is the first part of the overall application process for the Accelerate programme. Attached is the Accelerate School Application Process - a guide for teachers which details the full process.
