Survive, Thrive & Transform: the true impact of student financial support delivered via Aspire
Feedback from over 4,000 students who have received funding via Aspire illustrates how student financial support transforms student experience, continuation & future prospects.
Financial support helps students not only to survive, but also to thrive. Students across the UK are under increasing financial pressure, as evidenced in recent reports by HEPI (Cost of Learning Crisis), various articles in WONKHE, and National Union of Students reporting that student foodbank use has doubled since 2022.
This report will not only answer the big questions; but we hope it can add useful insights into the conversation, as we seek to draw out some golden threads from across this large body of students who provided detailed and often visceral feedback on their experience.
