Developed with Aimhigher
UNIAID, the Students’ Charity is a registered national charity, which is independent of government and the higher education sector. UNIAID’s mission is to help students cope with financial hurdles to higher education.
UNIAID has developed a series of innovative online tools and simulations, to help prospective and existing students prepare for and cope with the growing financial complexities of higher education. They are:
- Student Survivor

The UNIAID approach is ‘Serious learning with infectious fun. The online tools form the basis of the UNIAID Interactive programme, through which UNIAID aims to enlighten students and empower their advisers.
UNIAID's supporters include HSBC Bank, UNITE, Workbank, Universities UK and Apple.
Aimhigher is a national programme, which aims to widen participation in higher education (HE) by raising the aspirations and developing the abilities of young people from under-represented groups.
Jointly funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Department for Education and Skills, the Aimhigher programme operates across nine regional partnerships and 45 area partnerships throughout England.
Aimhigher encompasses a wide range of activities to engage and motivate students and young people aged 13-30 from all walks of life, who have the potential to enter higher education but are under-achieving, undecided or lacking in confidence.
UNIAID interactive programme has been led by the Aimhigher Central London Partnership, in association with Aimhigher Greater Merseyside Partnership.
HSBC has supported education projects for many years. It believes that financial knowledge and understanding are essential for all and the key to personal and career success. Uniaid gives youngsters considering higher education the chance to get a taste of university life and experience some of its challenges and opportunities in a fun way through its online games.
HSBC is proud to have helped fund Uniaid from its inception, to be a supporter of the All About U and Student Survivor games and now a partner to the Uniaid Interactive materials.
