Estranged Students

Estranged Student Solidarity Week 2025

Next week is Estranged Student Solidarity Week, and we want to raise awareness of the support that Edinburgh College can provide to anyone who is studying without the support or approval of their family. 

What is an ‘estranged student’? 

An estranged student is generally defined as a student who has no communicative relationship with either of their living parents or guardians. These students are pursuing their education journey alone, without the traditional support network many others rely on.
