Great article on community colleges and philanthropy. Community colleges are our nation’s greatest engines of economic and social mobility, and a driving force of local and regional economies. Community colleges enroll 30% of all higher education students yet receive only 1.5% of the $58 billion in philanthropic support to higher education. Community college alumni work in every industry and are distinguished civic and corporate leaders throughout the country. Philanthropists looking to make a transformational impact should take a closer look at community colleges. #communitycollege #philanthropy

Education has the power to transform lives and impact generations! Read this exciting news to see how #UNT is making a difference:

Feeling incredibly grateful to be part of the Northumbria University community that genuinely transforms lives. As a student and a beneficiary, I’ve experienced firsthand how Northumbria doesn’t just focus on academics but fosters essential life skills that prepare us for success beyond graduation. Dan Monnery's words resonate: with up to 40% of students coming from underrepresented backgrounds, Northumbria is making higher education accessible and impactful. And with amazing partnerships like Enterprise Mobility supporting initiatives like #IntoNewcastle, support from Laura James, Northumbria University Alumni Association and Louise Taylor, even more students get the chance to realize their full potential. Proud to be connected to a university that’s not just educating students but empowering future leaders. #HigherEducation #Socialmobility #StudentSuccess #FutureLeaders #EqualOpportunities #EducationForAll #EmpoweringStudents #LifeAtNorthumbria #UniversityImpact #CareerReady

Investing in education is a great way to create value

It's back-to-school time in our house, a mix of emotions. At work, we've got a new project that has all the upsides - new learning, new ways of thinking. Unite Foundation is working with our long-term partner and champion, Unite Students, and with think tank Social Market Foundation to dig deeper into understanding estranged and care experienced students’ experiences of access, progression and success at university. Unite Foundation's work is driven by the fact that only 14% of care-experienced young people are in higher education at age 19, compared to 47% of the general population.?Estranged students face similar challenges to care leavers but with less support available to them.?We have over a decade of evidence that?confirms?if these young people are guaranteed safe, secure accommodation?at university - something parents often help pay for and arrange - they’re as likely as any other student to complete their degree and with a good grade. Working with Unite Students and our university partners we ensure Unite Foundation students who don’t have ‘parent privilege’ (as Unite Foundation graduate Paige Mackenzie BA (Hons) perfectly puts it) are fully supported in terms of their housing needs - and it works.?We want this to happen for more care experienced and estranged young people, and in more areas of their lives. Aveek Bhattacharya and Dani Payne at the Social Market Foundation are compiling existing evidence and insight from academia and civil society, to consider what further actions are needed and what could easily happen right now with the energy and commitment of the new Labour government. How can universities, local authorities, the government and other stakeholders better ‘parent’ and support care-experienced and estranged young people in accessing, staying in, and thriving at university? Back-to-school also means many young people around the country are preparing to start university and every new student joining the Unite Foundation scholarship is gifted ￡200 to spend on what they choose to make their house a home. Bedding, kettles, blankets, storage. We are fundraising now, and you can have the privilege of being the ‘parent privilege’ for a care experienced or estranged student starting at university in the next few weeks.
