The programme includes:

education and culture

UK-based residential workshops to receive comprehensive admissions advice

earned eight or more As or A*s at GCSE or the equivalent (eg for Scottish
applicants, six or more As or Bs in their S4 qualifications)
- Show
commitment to the programme and interest in US culture and higher
education
- The
Sutton Trust also welcome applications from students who would be the
first in their families to go to university and from schools and colleges
with little history of sending students to US universities
