In July 2026, we built That Tracks! – an open-access database of the funding and training opportunities available to students from low-income households in the UK. The repository is free to use and is shared directly with students. We gathered it in two parts.
A database of university funding that students can apply for, from national schemes to individual university bursaries. Each entry sets out eligibility, value, deadlines, and an official link to know more about the opportunity.
A database of apprenticeships, graduate schemes, and other vocational routes that lead to a career without a conventional degree. Each entry sets out the qualification requirements, a description of the route, contact details, and official websites.
The We Can Manual is a free guide to eight career domains and the twenty professions within them, written for students with no prior knowledge of the university system. Each domain opens with an introduction to what the field involves and which subjects support it, and each career then carries a table setting out the degrees that lead to it, three universities ranging from the most selective to the most accessible, the grades and entrance exams required, the cost of applying and studying, and the scholarships, bursaries and government support available, along with how to claim them. Every entry links back to the university’s own website, so that no detail has to be taken on trust and anything that changes can be checked at source.
The manual assumes nothing: a student who has never heard of UCAS or a contextual offer can use it, and so can the parents, guardians and teachers supporting them. It gathers information that is already public but scattered across hundreds of websites, so that a lack of guidance is no longer the reason a capable student rules out a university, a course or a career.
