Scottish Government commissioned research has been released about the struggles faced by estranged young people in Scottish higher education.
For many who are new to the conversation around estranged student support, the findings of this report will likely be shocking.
Estranged students are those who are studying without the support of family capital, they have no parents to provide material, financial or emotional support and no corporate parent as their struggles were not seen by the state.
Research shows many of these young people are often rejected for being LGBT+, in transition, surviving forced marriage or are escaping abuse in the family home.
