Gilchrist Educational Trust Grants to Individuals

The Gilchrist Educational Trust provides two categories of grants to tertiary level students at British Universities. The first category supports students who have made proper provision to fund their degree or higher education course but face unexpected financial difficulties that may prevent completion, typically in their last year. The second category provides Travel Grants for students who, as part of their degree course, are required to spend a short period studying in another country, such as fieldwork for a thesis or dissertation, or medical students' elective study periods. Applicants must be full-time students at a British University. The Trust does not support foundation degrees until converted to honours degrees, part-time students, those seeking funds to take up a place on a course, students needing help with dependent costs, or those spending most of an academic year abroad. During the Trust's last financial year, 59 students received either an Adult Study Grant (average £617) or a Travel Study Grant (average £537). Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year via email.
