About Aimhigher

Aimhigher is a national programme which aims to widen participation in higher education (HE) by raising HE awareness, aspirations and attainment among young people from under-represented groups. The role of Aimhigher is to:

Raise aspirations and motivation to enter HE among young people from under-represented groups

Raise attainment of potential students from under-represented groups so that they gain the academic or vocational qualifications that will enable them to enter HE

Strengthen progression routes into HE via vocational courses

Offer information, advice and guidance to potential students and their teachers and families

Funding

Jointly funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department for Innovation, universities and Skills (DIUS), the Aimhigher programme operates across 44 area partnerships throughout England.
