1. Two categories of tertiary level students are eligible for consideration:-
- those 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.
- those who, as part of a degree course, are required to spend a short period studying in another country. Examples are the fieldwork necessary for a thesis or dissertation, or medical students’ elective period of study. Our Travel Grants are now available.
Applicants in either category must be full-time students at a British University.
We do not give grants for foundation degrees until they have been converted to an honours degree.
2. Those not eligible for consideration include:
- Part-time students;
- those seeking funds to enable them to take up a place on a course;
- students seeking help in meeting the cost of maintaining dependents;
- students who have, as part of a course, to spend all or most of an academic year studying in another country;
- those wishing to go abroad under the auspices of independent travel, exploratory or educational projects.
