5 Email Newsletters with Free Resources for Students
Email newsletters can be a great way of getting the most relevant information straight to your inbox, picked out by someone else to save you trawling the internet.
To help you, we’ve picked out five email newsletters covering a range of topics – careers, finance and student deals, mental health, and applying to uni. Have a look at our top email newsletter for young people and see which is for you.
1. Best for careers: Success at School
It’s… us! We share relevant careers advice throughout the year, fitting in around key events you might be covering in school or college, like National Careers Week and National Apprenticeship Week. We also send out guidance around key deadlines, helping you stay career focused when making your A-level/equivalent choices and guiding you through important decisions, like whether to apply to uni or do an apprenticeship instead. Sign up for our emails and we’ll be with you every step of your career journey!

2. Best for money tips: Save the Student
Save the Student helps young people make their money go further. It’s ideal if you’re off to uni or starting an apprenticeship – and pretty handy if you’re still at college too. It covers a wide range of finance-related topics, from accommodation and bills to shopping and banking. The site also has a number of snazzy tools such as rent and student loan calculators. Save the Student’s weekly email brings together the latest money-saving tips and it’s well worth signing up for if you’re always on the lookout for a bargain!

3. Best for student discounts: Totum
No messing around – just student discounts by the bucket load! Totum is a discount card offered by the National Union of Students. Students aged 16+ in further and higher education are eligible to become a Totum member, as is anyone enrolled in an apprenticeship programme. However, there is a joining fee, starting at £8.33 per year for students and apprentices – this gives you access to exclusive deals. As a member, you’ll get the latest offers shared straight to your inbox.
