Lothians Equal Access Programme for Schools

At the Lothians Equal Access Programme for Schools (LEAPS), we support talented young people in south east Scotland, providing them with information and encouragement to apply to higher education. This includes delivering the Schools for Higher Education Programme with selected schools in Edinburgh and Lothians, Forth Valley and the Scottish Borders. In total, we work with 59 state secondary schools in the region, targeting young people with little or no family experience of higher education or those who may have experienced adverse social and/or economic circumstances.
Our annual conference-style event for students in S5 will take place at Edinburgh University's Central Campus on Friday 10th and again on Wednesday 15th February. For full information and to book your place at the event, visit our Applying2012 page.
_ These events are aimed at parents, guardians and carers of LEAPS eligible S5 students. The evening will cover key information associated with choosing and then applying to higher education. To meet demand we will be staging the event three times, as follows:
  • Monday 5th March at Queen Margaret University
  • Thursday 8th March at Borders College in Galashiels
  • Monday 12th March at the University of Stirling
Each event is 7pm till 9pm and places can be booked by emailing leaps@ed.ac.uk or phoning 0131 650 4676 and letting us know which event you plan to attend.
