## Description

This Contract has now been awarded\. The University of Wolverhampton holds the Aspire to HE \(Higher Education\), National Collaborative Outreach Programme \(NCOP\) contract with the Office for Students which funds the NCOP programme - 'the Project' or 'Programme'\. 'Aspire to HE' is a partner-based consortium which will deliver sustained, progressive, intensive outreach activity to targeted cohorts of learners \(years 9 to 13\) in identified Wards to increase the numbers of students from disadvantaged backgrounds entering Higher Education\. The measure of success is the progression of young people onto courses of prescribed Higher Education\. The key aim is to increase the rate of young participation in HE in the target Wards: 'young participation' is defined as the proportion of the cohort that enters HE at both 18 and 19 years of age\. The sessions will be offered to the Year 9 year groups, across 50 schools, 39 of which we have had a relationship with for the past 2 years and 11 who will be new to Aspire to HE, at the start of the 2020 - 2021 academic year\. These schools will be based around the Black Country and Telford area\. Delivery of the project must commence 1st September 2020 and be completed by 31st July 2021
