The Gilchrist Educational Trust Grants programme

One-off grants generally between £500 and £4,000 for UK voluntary and community organisations for projects that fill gaps in educational provision or make a specific aspect of education or learning more accessible.

To apply, email the Trust’s secretary to request an application form.  Once completed, two copies of the application form should be sent to the secretary, one by post and another by email.

The Trust also makes awards to individuals – students who have made proper provision to fund a degree or higher education course but find themselves facing unexpected financial difficulties which may prevent completion of it.  Applicants will normally be in the last year of the course.

Also, those who, as part of a degree course, are required to spend a short period studying in another country.  Examples are the fieldwork necessary for a thesis or dissertation, or medical students’ elective period of study.  Requests for individual grants may be made at any time.
