Series 3, Episode 13: Socioeconomic disadvantage in education and student bursaries, with Karen Kennard
Show Notes

Karen Kennard first witnessed the difficulty of students being able to access information about education bursaries when her son embarked to University. She subsequently founded The Scholarship Hub, a social enterprise that offers a centralised database and support for students to explore funding opportunities for them. Karen talks to Lisa Jobson about the work of The Scholarship Hub and how the rise in tuition fees has created inequality from a socioeconomic perspective amongst students from many backgrounds.
