About our What is LEAPS? Presentation
Please watch our short presentation below, which explains more about LEAPS and the support LEAPS offers to LEAPS-eligible students who are aiming for higher education at college or university.
LEAPS is here to support you with any college or university plans you might be thinking about, and we'll be offering information and activities throughout the year to help you explore your options.

What Next? Prepare for your LEAPS Pre-UCAS Interview
If you are planning to apply to university or college this year, and you think that you are LEAPS eligible, please complete our LEAPS Survey form here (this opens on SQA Results Day) and ask your LEAPS Link Teacher to schedule you for a LEAPS Pre-UCAS Interview.
You can find out more about the LEAPS Pre-UCAS Interview here.
You must have this interview to have your LEAPS eligibility confirmed before the LEAPS eligibility deadline at the end of November. This is important, as it can affect what offers and support you receive from universities.
Not sure if you're eligible for LEAPS support? Please contact us for clarification.
