Here’s the latest news on two new initiatives launching in conjunction with 2025 undergraduate applications today.
Free school meals fee waiver
For the 2025 cycle, UCAS is removing the undergraduate application fee for any student who is/or has received free school meals during the last six years, up until the end of their final year at school or college.
Students access to entry grades
Your students can now see the grades and offer rates of previously accepted students, when searching for courses on ucas.com. They can also add their predicted grades to contextualise the historic information to them. This is a beta product including A level and BTEC grades of 18 year olds in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland across the 2019 – 2023 cycles.
