In 2020-2021 we worked with more young people, teachers and Widening Participation professionals than ever before. In this blog, CEO and co-founder Sam Holmes discusses our goals and priorities when adapting to online delivery and looking to maximise our work to ensure progression is not determined by privilege.
In the second in the series, long-standing Application Mentor Charlie Deeks explains how Application Mentoring has evolved and why the programme works so well, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We’re thrilled to present a special guest blog by Segen, a Year 13 student who took part in our Application Mentoring in the 2020-21 cycle. Segen explains how working with OSCAR, and particularly her mentor, helped her navigate a challenging period.
