Scotland has high aspirations for our young people in care. We want to bring them opportunities and highlight that, given an equal chance, young people in care can fulfil truly life-changing ambitions. That&rsquo;s why we set up our annual Harvard Summer School scholarship.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 23.6pt; vertical-align: baseline; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1c1c1c;">Our scholarship is part of Reaching Higher &ndash; Who Cares? Scotland&rsquo;s drive to celebrate success and recognise achievement. Each year we provide the funds for young people in care to become a part of the prestigious university&rsquo;s international summer school. But it&rsquo;s the young people themselves who do the hard work of applying for the fiercely-contested places. As well as benefiting from seven weeks of world-class teaching and facilities, they have the opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and meet new friends from a wealth of other countries.&nbsp;<strong style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">It&rsquo;s literally the trip of a lifetime for our successful students.</span></strong></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
