APP Residential supports high achieving students from low income backgrounds across the UK from lower sixth/Year 12, into competitive universities, and the top professions. We offer support through our four pillars:

1)      Mentoring by a professional via email

2)      Tailored skills sessions and career workshops

3)      University application support and guidance

4)      Internships with top employers.

APP Residential offers the opportunity to undertake a one or two week internship with a top employer in London with all expenses paid within one of 4 sectors; accountancy at KPMG, engineering at CH2M, banking with JP Morgan, and law. We also offer a Medicine Residential with the NHS, which last year was held in Middlesbrough. Whilst on their residential and in addition to the internship, students receive skills sessions and university application support. Their mentor will be form the employer that they undertake their placement with. Students also have the opportunity to experience life in the Capital, with evening and weekend activities.

All of this is completely free of charge. We organise their travel down to London, pay for their travel within the city, provide meals and cover evening activities. For more information on our APP Residential scheme, please see our website here.
