The Unite Foundation is a UK registered charitable trust founded by student accommodation provider Unite Students in 2012.〔() Unite Group press release, 9 February 2012〕 The charity provides free university accommodation and a cost-of-living scholarship to young people who have earned a university place but who, for financial reasons, are unlikely to be able to take it up. Particular emphasis is placed on assisting young people who have been through the UK Care System. It currently offers scholarships to 90 students studying in the 2014/15 academic year. In October 2014 the Unite Foundation announced it had secured an £8.5 million, five-year funding pledge from Unite Students which it claims “will mean about 300 more” scholars.〔()"Bigger Boost For Disadvantaged Students", University Business, 29 October 2014〕 ==Operation== The Unite Foundation works in partnership with seven universities across England and Scotland.〔()"New Scholarship Will Help More Students To Come To DMU", De Montfort University press release, 8 May 2014〕 The universities themselves operate the admission process, while the Foundation sets the admission criteria and reviews acceptances. All Unite Foundation Scholars are offered free accommodation in Unite Students properties for the duration of their studies. In addition, each receives an annual cost-of-living scholarship of £3,000, rising to £4,000 in London〔() Unite Foundation website, 22 December 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Unite Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
