Successful Applications:

When you submit the application form, you will receive an email confirming that the form has been received, along with a copy of the completed form.

Please note that in most cases, we will interview applicants in their homes.

If the grant is to cover course fees we will typically pay the grant directly to the college. However where the grant includes living costs, we will pay this directly to you in termly installments.
