Exclusions
Grants are unlikely to be made to people at Glasgow or Strathclyde Universities or Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dance as the trust makes block payments to the hardship funds of these institutions. Grants are also not normally awarded towards medical electives, second or further qualifications, payments of school fees or costs incurred at tertiary educational establishments.
Type of grants
One-off grants ranging from £100 to £1,000 to schoolchildren for study/travel overseas, books, equipment/instruments and maintenance/living expenses, to college students, undergraduates, vocational students and mature students for fees, study/travel overseas, books, equipment/instruments, maintenance/living expenses and childcare, to overseas students for fees, books, equipment/instruments and maintenance/living expenses and to individuals with special educational needs for excursions.
Applications
An application form to be submitted together with a summary in the applicant’s own words, extending to no more than a single A4 sheet, of the purpose and need of the grant. The possible costs and financial need should also be broken down.
The trustees meet four times a year normally in March, June, September and December, but this can vary. All applications should be submitted one month prior to the meeting.
It is a condition that with any grant given, a report should be made as to how the funds have been used. Grants not used for the purposes stated must be returned. Applicants receiving help one year may expect to be refused in the next.
