In celebration of our 50 years, we're raising money for The Open University Students Educational Trust, otherwise known as OUSET. In a nutshell, OUSET changes lives for the better, helping students to complete their studies and access the brilliant benefits Higher Education provides.
OUSET provides vital support for Open University students who can't receive funding anywhere else to continue their studies by supporting students with paying module fees and by assisting with costs relating to study – for example: travel, IT equipment or set-books.
Without OUSET, Open University students in severe financial hardship would fall through the net and likely be unable to ever complete their qualification.
