Other sources of student funding
Many hundreds of charities make awards to current and prospective students. However, they can be hard to find and require a quite specific and specialised approach.
The following information is designed to provide some basic details and provide links for you to carry out your own research on the kind of funding available.
Your local library
Your public library should have directories of charitable trusts that provide grants and awards. These include:
- the Educational Grants Directory
- the Charities Digest
- the Grants Register
- the Directory of Grant Making Trusts
