Cambridge University Science and Policy Exchange raises funds for scholarship

The Cambridge University Science and Policy Exchange (CUSPE) has launched a scholarship for young people leaving care, in collaboration with Cambridgeshire County Council.  It is trying to raise enough money to sponsor at least one young person leaving care for a fully funded and paid work experience with the council.

Research undertaken through the CUSPE Policy Challenges programme highlighted the barriers faced by young people leaving care when transitioning to independent living. As a consequence of this work, this scholarship programme has been created this year to enable young people leaving care to contribute directly to local government policy.

The Scholarship will provide necessities – such as money for a day bus fare, lunch and dinner, and a work and interview outfit – so that the young people can carry out their internship at CCC.

Funds are being raised by selling CUSPE merchandise, with 100% of the proceeds going towards the CUSPE Scholarship.
