Grants to Individuals

The Gilchrist Educational Trust provides grants averaging just over £500 for 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. Grants are also available for students who, as part of a degree course, are required to spend a short period studying in another country, such as fieldwork necessary for a thesis or dissertation, or medical students' elective period of study. Applicants in either category must be full-time students at a British University. Grants are not given for foundation degrees until they have been converted to an honours degree.
