Peer Assisted Student Success Scheme Bursary - Academic year 2021/2022

For the 21/22 academic year, the University of Bedfordshire will launch a new bursary scheme for students called Peer Assisted Student Success (PASS).

PASS adopts a strategic and targeted approach based on research-informed evidence and good practice towards enhancing student success through Peer Assisted Learning programmes. Its overarching aims are to:

• contribute towards addressing progression inequalities and improving progression rates for under-represented students.
• encourage engagement amongst underrepresented target groups and beneficiaries with Peer Assisted Learning.
• increase student agency through encouraging student-staff partnerships and student co-production.
• develop employability skills to enhance graduate outcomes

Target groups for PASS support

• Disabled students
• Ethnic (ABMO) students
• Access and participation groups
• Fermale Asian-Pakistani students
• Female Asian-Bangladeshi students
• Black Caribbean male students
• Other underrepresented groups
