You must fulfil three criteria before you can apply for an award. These can be found here. Applications will only be accepted from former pupils of relevant schools. Parental applications on behalf of former pupils of relevant schools will not be accepted.

In addition to the above awards the Trustees will entertain applications from students on the basis of exceptional financial need arising unexpectedly in the course of a programme of study; the financial hardship would not be of the applicant's own making. There are no specific dates for these applications. Applications for support in case of exceptional financial need should be made in writing to the Trustees and sent to the Secretary and Administrators. For further details click here.

All awards are made at the absolute discretion of the Trustees. In the event that the number of applications exceeds the funds available for each category of award, the Trustees may resort to a method of random selection. In making the final award decisions the Trustees reserve the right to take account of the applicant's financial means.
