How we assess
your application
To apply for our education grants, the following criteria must be met:
- Applicants must be individuals, schools, or organisations located in or serving the postcodes of our benefit areas: TW9, TW10, SW13, and SW14
- We prioritise applications from individuals facing additional barriers to study, training and employment, such as: single parents, carers, or living with a disability.
- We also support staff in the voluntary sector and schools seeking courses that benefit both their personal development and their employer’s work
- Grants must be used towards: course fees, equipment, childcare, travel expenses or other expenses related to the course
- Applicants must demonstrate an inability to afford the full cost of the course or related expenses
- Applicants must have researched and exhausted all available student finance options before applying
- Unfortunately, we cannot fund postgraduate studies at this time
When to Apply
Our Grants Committee meets quarterly in March, June, September, and December to review applications. Please make sure to submit your application by the deadline provided. We’ll notify you of the outcome within five working days after the Grants Committee meeting.
