About the programme

Now in its second year, the John La Rose Award scheme (formerly known as the Haringey Fairer Education Fund) is a programme of support for young people which sets out to make access to higher education fairer as part of the council’s wider ambitions to create a more equal borough.

Whether it’s university that you’re contemplating, or business school, or creative college, or another kind of higher education, you can get support through the John La Rose Award for courses beginning in autumn 2022.

If you haven’t thought about going on to university (or any other higher education course), or if you aren’t sure whether it’s affordable or you, or if you just aren’t sure of what you’d like to do after school, we hope you will put your application in to see if we can support you and how. Your school or college may also be able to help you with the application process: please do speak to them.
