Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what funding he plans to make available to universities to
enable them to promote applications. [192924]
Dr. Howells: The `Aimhigher' programme provides funding to universities, colleges and schools in order to raise the aspirations and
attainment of young people. The aim is to increase the number of applications from groups which are currently under-represented in
higher education. Aimhigher is jointly funded by the Department for Education and Skills, the Higher Education Funding Council for
England (HEFCE) and the Learning and Skills Council.
HEFCE also provides funds through its widening participation allocation to assist universities with the additional costs of
recruiting and retaining non- traditional students.
Announcements about future funding levels will be made in the new year, once the funding councils have received and considered their
annual grant letters.
