About
Aims
My Student Years is a Scottish Social Enterprise registered as a Community Interest Company. It was set up to address the gap in transition support for students moving from school to university. Decades of research highlight the causes and implications of a poor transition to higher education.
We support children starting nursery, primary and secondary school but at the age of 17 or 18 students leave the familiarity of home, school and social life to start independent study and living. My Student Years Community and Transition Programme provides knowledge and skills which are crucial to the next stage of education.
Social Impact
My Student Years Community and Transition Programme improve the wellbeing students starting university or college giving them the best possible start to university or college which will benefit them throughout their student years. We offer financial assistance to those who cannot afford this service. We have a positive impact on Scottish students with a ripple effect on their education and families.
