Sir William Boreman's Foundation

The Sir William Boreman's Foundation provides grants to help students cover their living costs while studying. These bursaries are available for permanent residents of Greenwich and Lewisham boroughs in London to study undergraduate or postgraduate courses on a full-time or part-time basis. The foundation can provide support for daily living costs, travel, and books or equipment for courses. The charity originated from the 1684 will of Sir William Boreman, who bestowed to The Drapers' Company a school he had founded in Greenwich. As the original school no longer exists, the endowment now benefits other young people in the London Boroughs of Greenwich or Lewisham. The charity awards grants worth around £90,000 each year to individuals from low income or disadvantaged backgrounds.
