These factors include: 1) Being a first generation entrant to higher education 2) Being eligible to receive the Education Maintenance Award or equivalent, or (if over 18) being in receipt of a means-tested benefit 3) Family, cultural or financial reasons for needing to study in Lincolnshire or Nottinghamshire 4) Attending a school or college without a tradition of high academic achievement 5) Being a refugee, or in care At least two of these or similar circumstances must apply to you.
