An educational grant relates only to the additional expense incurred by your chosen course, however the Trustees will take into consideration your ongoing unrelated expenses too.
I would like to advise you at this stage that our Charity may not be in a position to fund you to the extent that you require. The amount awarded to you will only be known after consideration of your case, on interview by our Committee.
The Charity expects students to take up the loan offered by Student Finance England. Applications will not be considered, unless there are special circumstances, if the Student Finance loan has not been taken up.
We would not withdraw an education grant if it were not spent within six months. Education grants are payable in termly instalments throughout an academic year. Someone could be awarded a grant in August and the final payment could be made anytime between April and July.
Applicants are invited to attend for an interview with our Education Committee and we will be writing to you to let you know the date of the next meeting once we receive your completed application form and supporting documents
