Charities and Trusts
Information about charities and trusts that offer awards and sponsorship
to students and their application procedures can be found in the
Educational Grants Directory and The Grants Register. Copies of
these are available in the Careers Centre, the University Library and in
most public libraries.
The
Educational Grants Advisory Service or EGAS holds a database
of organisations offering educational grants and loans to individuals
studying in the UK as do
turn2us.
Many charities and trusts are only able to award a small number of
limited grants each year, so competition can be fierce! To be in with the
best chance of receiving an award it is a good idea to research charities
and trusts carefully, as they may operate restrictive eligibility
requirements, e.g. based on your area of residence, family background and
subject area and apply as soon as possible (many give deadlines for
applications).

Funding Co-ordinator in the
