The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 is proud to offer the Care Experienced Bursary to help support students who have experience of living in care and meet the relevant eligibility criteria.
Being care experienced means you will have spent time living with any of the following:
鈥 with foster carers under local authority care
鈥 in residential care (e.g. a children鈥檚 home)
鈥 looked after at home under a supervision order
鈥 in kinship care with relatives or friends, either officially (e.g. a special guardianship order) or informally without local authority support.
Sometimes you will see the term 鈥榗are leaver鈥 used. Although this has a slightly different meaning, it is often used interchangeably with 鈥榗are experience鈥.
