Howard Lake | 20 November 2014 | News
The Directory of Social Change is to publish new editions of two of its funding guides for individuals – The Guide to Grants for Individuals in Need and The Guide to Educational Grants.
The 2015/2016 editions aren’t available yet but they can be pre-ordered.
The Guide to Educational Grants 2015/16
Edited by by Gabriele Zagnojute & Denise Lillya, and published in association with the National Union of Students, this is the 13th edition of “the UK’s only publication to gather data from all educational trusts in the UK”.
It features information on over 1,400 sources of non-statutory financial help for people in education. These give a total of around £54 million a year. Funding covers a variety of issues ranging from trips and meals to stationery, and of course studying.
Each entry in the 320-page directory includes:
• Eligibility information
• Types of grants given
• Annual grant total
• And how to apply for funding.
Lura France, Senior Partnership Officer, Teach First, said of the current Directory:
“A useful resource for supporting individuals to source additional funding for their studies. Well laid-out and easy to use, it provides clear information about eligibility and restrictions.”
