WATIF Education Support Grant

The WATIF Education Support Grant provides financial assistance to individuals residing in the WATIF area of benefit who are in or planning to enter higher/further education or training. Grants of up to £750 are available to support education-related expenses including travel costs, tuition fees, equipment, textbooks, and uniforms. The grant can also cover costs associated with gaining entry to education or training, such as travel costs or accommodation for open days and interviews. In some circumstances, the organization may consider applications for higher amounts on a case-by-case basis. Applications must be supported by evidence of eligibility such as an offer letter or course confirmation from an education or training provider. The program aims to enhance health and wellbeing, increase access to essential services, and encourage sustainable economic development within the WATIF community. Recipients are encouraged to volunteer for the trust after receiving the grant to help achieve the organization's vision for the local community.
