Each year, over 700 young people, known as Robertson scholars, are supported through Journey to Success in a broad range of subjects across Scotland’s universities.
Since 1992, the programme has supported over 1,000 young people to overcome financial and social barriers to gain the university education and career they aspire to.
The programme was devised to offer self-development opportunities and financial support to 16-25 year olds in Scotland who face barriers to higher education.
