The Foundation was created to assist students who are pursuing their first or further degrees (full and part-time) by providing financial support. Our mission is to enhance access to education and ensure that individuals have the opportunity to achieve their academic goals, regardless of their background or financial circumstances.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide grants to students who wish to pursue their studies outside of the United Kingdom. This limitation is in place because our funding is specifically allocated for educational programs and expenses within the UK.

Full and part-time will always be considered.

Distance learning and correspondence courses may be considered according to circumstances.

Students over the age of 35 years are not normally considered, except in exceptional circumstances.

Grants are designed to serve as supplementary financial support for students, helping to cover additional costs related to their education. On average, these grants range from £1,500 to £2,000, providing a significant boost to students' financial resources.

However, in special cases or for those with particularly high needs, a maximum grant of up to £2,500 may be available.

Applications can only currently be submitted by mail.

Applications may take a few weeks to process before a response is provided. Once the Governors have made a decision, students will receive notification by post regarding the outcome of their application. It is important to note that if you are unsuccessful, there can be no further correspondence.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this process, as we strive to ensure thorough and fair evaluations of all applications..
