Student Laptop Loan Scheme

For the academic year 21/22 we are putting in place additional services to provide laptop loans for students working from home.

The laptop loan scheme is designed to address the needs of students in digital poverty and will provide laptops for successful applicants.  The scheme is targeted at women training in construction courses and other priority groups such as those working towards achieving the CSCS Green Labourer Card.

The scheme is available to UK students only. 

You will need to register for the service before you can borrow a laptop for the first time. To do this, you will need to complete a Student Laptop Loan Request Form.  

Once you have authenticated and agreed to the terms and conditions, we will arrange with you your Laptop Loan Scheme pick-up location.

To register for the laptop loan scheme students should email owecic.office@o-w-e.org.uk for a Student Laptop Loan Request Form – complete and return to same email address.
