Parliamentary Briefing
Risk to Student Opportunity Funding and what UCAS figures mean
05 Feb 2014
BIS Ministers have so far been unable to commit to retaining the Student Opportunity Allocation in full in 2014-15 or guarantee its future in 2015-16. Million+ is not alone in raising concerns. Mainly student unions have contacted MPs and parliamentary questions continue to be tabled. In addition to media coverage, a letter from Vice-Chancellors was also published in The Times. This funding makes a difference and we hope that MPs and Peers continue to seek assurances from Ministers in both BIS and the Treasury that its future in 2014-15 and 2015-16 will be secured.
