grants to individuals

Individuals can apply to the Trust for a small grant of usually not more than £500 to assist those who are undertaking a hospitality related degree course or a craft course and require a sum of money to help with fees or to purchase items required for the course such as books, uniform and practical equipment. 

Each applicant is required to complete a form and their application has to be accompanied by a reference, usually, although not exclusively, from their college.  It should be noted that if the application is successful the grant will not be awarded directly to an individual but to their place of study, training provider or supplier for the benefit of the individual.

If you think you are eligible for such a grant you should apply in writing to the address given on the contact page.   We do not offer funding to students undertaking a non hospitality related course. 

For your information Trustee meetings are held in March, July, September and December. Completed forms must be returned at least one month before the date of the meeting at which your application will be considered.  Details will be given to you with the application form.
