Types
of Grant
The trust offers two kinds of grant — general grants (to help
with maintenance costs and course fees) and small grants (to help towards the
cost of books, equipment, computer software, etc that relate to the course of
study). The trustees have absolute discretion to decide who will be awarded
grants and in what amounts. The trustees also have the right to refuse to make
an award without giving a reason. In 2018, the trust agreed to make grants
available to current students of
General
Grants
General grants are assessed according to special needs
arising from the absence of state subsidies, county awards, student loans etc.
for certain students, or from the particular circumstances of individual
students. Applications can be made at any time.
Small
Grants
Small grants, not exceeding £100,
are being made to help cover specific costs that students incur for their
studies. No special examination of their personal circumstances is required.
Students are asked to indicate the particular costs they are claiming and
attach some kind of evidence that they have incurred them (receipt or invoice).
Applications for grants can be
submitted at any time and are then normally dealt with on a 6-month cycle up to
30th November and 30th May each year. If there is an excess of
applications, grants are awarded, at
the discretion of the trustees, according to the relative merits of the courses
being pursued and the intended careers of the students. Higher priority is accorded to vocational careers. The awards are announced as soon as possible after they are
approved. Although a
reference is not requested, the trustees reserve the right to contact
