Social Mobility Foundation’s free Aspiring Professionals Programme Aspiring Professionals Programme (APP) The APP supports high achieving Year 12 students from low income backgrounds across the UK to access competitive universities and careers. We offer support through our four pillars: 1.

Mentoring by a professional via email

2.

Tailored skills sessions and career workshops

3.

University application support and guidance

4.

Internships with top employers

How students receive our four pillars of support is dependent on where they live.

Students must apply by 9am, Monday 18th December 2017 by completing our application form here.

● Each year, at least 60% of SMF students go onto Russell Group universities ● 86% of students in 2016 said they wouldn’t have got their internship without the help of the SMF ● IFS Studies show that the scale of our impact on elite university entry is akin to a candidate having 3 A*s at A-Level rather than 3 As.
