Foreword

Previous forewords of this book have reflected uponthemes such as the changing nature of educationpolicy and increased costs for students. Despite majorprogress, it is still these issues that affect educationtoday. In 2018, we will see the creation of a newOffice for Students (OfS) to replace the existingfunding body. Furthermore, as Brexit negotiationsprogress, the implications for students will emergemore clearly. Despite an undergraduate tuition feefreeze in 2018, there is little certainty over the toxicfee debate, which continues to mask the bigger accessissue – the ever-increasing cost of living.

Nationwide, the application cycle for 2018 has seensignificant decline in the number of undergraduateuniversity applicants, with mature students and carersbeing affected the most. The lack of appropriatefunding and flexible courses are among the definingfactors behind this change. Likewise, despite theintroduction of a postgraduate loan to relieve theburden of fees, covering living costs remainschallenging. As job prospects appear increasinglyuncertain and loan repayment terms for tuition feesare set significantly above market rates, many nowquestion the value of a degree.

As the job market changes, however, the importanceof education has never been so great. Despitechallenges, the past decade has seen a considerableincrease in the number of students accessing highereducation from disadvantaged backgrounds inparticular. For students from all backgrounds,universities do offer enormous support withbudgeting, study skills and wellbeing advice. Moreimportantly, and as The Guide to Educational Grantsshows, a significant amount of funding is readilyavailable. Whether you are an adviser or prospectivestudent, this accessible and comprehensive book isexactly what you need to guide you through theavailable support to ensure you can access the bestpossible funding. For their recognition of educationas a public good across society, the generosity of thedonors must be commended; as must the work ofDSC for so effectively collating grant information forthis book.

Introduction

Note: All annual reports and accounts are available onthe Charity Commission for England and Wales website.

Welcome to the fifteenth edition of The Guide toEducational Grants. The main objective of this guide is toprovide information on grant-making charities which offerfinancial support for individuals who are in education ortraining. This edition contains over 1,100 grant-makingcharities with a total of £55.9 million available in grants toindividuals for educational purposes, and over 100 grant-makers new to this edition. Many of the organisationsincluded in this guide also give grants to individuals inneed for welfare purposes. These are detailed further in theguide’s sister publication The Guide to Grants forIndividuals in Need, also published in 2018 by theDirectory of Social Change (DSC).

Further and vocational education

During 2017, government-allocated funding for furthereducation remained relatively stable. The Novemberbudget announced that no further cuts would bemade – colleges would receive extra funding in preparationfor T-levels, and schools and colleges would enjoy £600 perstudent opting to study A-level maths (HM Treasury,2017). However, students choosing to take anapprenticeship route are finding their education at risk,due to funding cuts in other sectors – including a cut ofup to 89% for schemes supporting small businessesoffering apprenticeships (Makoff, 2017). Complexrestrictions, difficulty accessing funds and a lack offlexibility in spending, have led to employers being put offcreating apprenticeship posts. This means that there hasbeen a significant drop (59%) in young people taking upapprenticeships from April to July 2017 (Butler, 2017).

Furthermore, those choosing to take up an apprenticeshipare continuing to face financial hardship during theirstudies, with two in five apprentices spending more moneythan they earn on the cost of completing theirapprenticeship, on top of an 8% gap in apprentice wagesbetween men and women (Bulman, 2017; Young Women’sTrust, 2016). In addition to this, numbers of adult learnersin further education have been decreasing by an average of11% per year (Department for Education, 2017). A lack ofincentive for employers to provide apprenticeships,potential learners being priced out of education and adecline in adult learners, are all having a huge impact onthe country’s skills market (City and Guilds, N.D.),something that could get worse after Brexit. Despiteapprenticeships being a major government policy since thecoalition government (2010 to 2015), there is a long wayto go in terms of policy reform and funding allocationbefore apprenticeships can be marketed as a seriousalternative to university, and something that couldsuccessfully fill the skills gap.

Higher education

In December 2017, UCAS revealed that 13.8% ofdisadvantaged 18-year-olds entered higher education, anincrease of 0.2% from the previous year (UCAS, 2017).

iv



However, entries from more advantaged groups also roseto 53.1%, leaving the ratio between the two groups largelyunchanged. Similarly, they found that the rate ofuniversity entries for pupils who receive free school mealswas 17% – compared to 34% admissions of students whodo not (Adams, 2017). These statistics show a large andcontinuing gap in university entry rates betweenadvantaged and disadvantaged groups in what should bean area of universal and equal opportunity. In October2017, in a move to sway more young people fromdisadvantaged backgrounds into higher education, thegovernment announced they would raise the repaymentthreshold for university fees to those earning a minimumof £25,000 (Belfield et al., 2017). However, this is littleincentive to students from low-income backgrounds who,as of 2016, have had to accrue more debt because of theabolition of maintenance grants – which were replaced bymore loans (BBC, 2016). There has also been an assault onhealth and medical courses such as physiotherapy andnursing, with the decision to axe NHS bursaries, meaningpotential applicants must fund their study using thestudent loans system (Department of Health, 2017). Thisreform is putting many potential students off studyingthese vital courses – UCAS figures show that nursingapplications declined by 23% compared to last year(UCAS, 2017). These figures will have a knock-on effectand will greatly harm the health profession, one that islikely to see a further fall in workers post-Brexit.

Refugees

While conducting our research for the guide we notedseveral charities commenting on the lack of educationprovision for refugees. According to research by RefugeeAction (2017) government funding for English forSpeakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses has fallenfrom around £212 million in 2008/09 to £95 million in2015. A recent poll by the same organisation whichsurveyed 71 ESOL providers showed that 45% of peopleare waiting at least six months or more to start Englishlessons. The Ruth Hayman Trust offers this synopsis of thesituation in its 2015/16 annual report:

‘For only a relatively short time in England were ESOLclasses provided under the same conditions as adult literacyand numeracy so that learners did not have to pay fees.The Trust has also had to take into account the verydifferent policies towards ESOL provision across the fournations of the UK, with no fees being charged in Scotlandand some learners in England being asked for up to £350for a term’s course. As a result of the recent reduction inTreasury funding for ESOL the Trust is being asked tosupport learners in provision run by voluntary schemes– a reversion to what we did in earlier decades.

UK Governments have also at times made specialarrangements for specific groups of learners. Currentlythere is a commitment to accepting 20,000 refugees fromSyria by 2020 and this is to be accompanied by a £10million funding package to boost English tuition. Whilstthis has been welcomed, the programme againunderestimates the time needed to acquire the language.

More importantly, it ignores the many other groups whoneed support. Last year Syrians were by no means thelargest group of refugees the Trust supported and ourbeneficiaries came from 44 countries.’

Ruth Hayman Trust, 2016

Brexit

After the vote to leave the EU in June 2016 there was a lotof uncertainty regarding the status of EU students studyingin the UK as well as EU-funded programmes such asErasmus+ and Horizon 2020. However, a clearer picture isnow developing of what will happen in the period beforethe UK leaves the EU in March 2019. In a statement inApril 2017 Jo Johnson, Minister of State for Universities,Science, Research and Innovation confirmed that EUstudents will continue to remain eligible forundergraduate, master’s, postgraduate and advancedlearner financial support in the academic year 2018 to2019. EU nationals will also remain eligible to apply forResearch Council PhD studentships at UK institutions for2018 to 2019 to help cover costs for the duration of theirstudy.

Erasmus+ offers people from education, sports, trainingand youth organisations opportunities to study, work,volunteer, teach and train abroad. It started life as Erasmusin 1987 and in the 30 years it has been running, anestimated 600,000 people from the UK have taken part(Erasmus, 2018). The prime minister has stated that theUK will continue participation in the Erasmus+programme up until the end of the current budget plan in2020 (BBC, 2017).

The aim of the Horizon 2020 programme is to improveEurope’s competitiveness in research and innovation. Sincethe programme started in 2014, the UK has been thesecond most successful country in terms of fundingreceived and the number of projects it has participated in(Mason, 2017). The UK government states on its website(2017):

‘UK government has committed to underwriting paymentof Horizon 2020 awards while the UK remains a memberof the EU. It will underwrite payment of such awards, evenwhen specific projects continue beyond the UK’s departurefrom the EU. This includes awards where the application issubmitted before the exit and is subsequently approvedafter exit.’

The fate of these funding programmes and EU students’access to UK educational institutions after 2018/19 is lessclear and will likely depend on the outcome of the UK’swider negotiations with the EU.

These examples show the very complex and changingenvironment that grant-makers supporting individualshave to work in. Challenges such as government cuts andchanges in policy remain, but new ones such as refugeeeducation and Brexit have emerged. The way grant-makershave adapted to these challenges is one of the issuesexplored in further detail in the additional analysisavailable to download from the DSC website.

Funding for gap yearsand overseasvoluntary work

Gap years have traditionally been apopular choice with school leaverslooking to travel, volunteer, work orbroaden their horizons in some otherway before embarking on universitylife. With increasingly high costs ofeducation, many feel the need to beextra careful in choosing a careerpath. A short pause between leavingschool and continuing education maybe a smart rather than just anadventurous decision. A ‘mini-gap’,for example, during the summerholidays can equally add valuableexperience and skills to a CV and isseen by many universities andpotential employers as an advantagein what is a very competitive jobmarket.

There are some opportunities toparticipate in voluntary work,expeditions and other activities whichcan be funded or partly fundedthrough charities, bursaries andschemes. For further information onsupport available in this area see‘Study, work and voluntary workoverseas’ on page 41. The charities inthis section include:1 Charities that can provide funding

towards study or work overseas2 Grant-makers that can offer

support towards volunteeringopportunities

Generally, most grant-makingcharities have quite specific criteriawhich will not apply to all eligibleapplicants; it is important to keep

this in mind and not assume that youcan apply just because you wish totravel to a particular area or place.Likewise, some grant-makers have aparticular preference for a certaintype of project, for exampleconservation or one that involvesworking for the benefit of the localcommunity. They may also givewithin a specific catchment area, so itcan be useful to look at local grant-makers first. Many of the localcharities in this guide will give grantsunder terms such as ‘travel overseas’or ‘personal development activities’.This allows them to give broadly to anumber of different activities whichmay fall into these categories, such asgap year projects and voluntary workoverseas.

It cannot be over-emphasised enoughthat it is your responsibility to checkyour eligibility for funding from anycharity to which you intend to apply.Please do not apply if you are indoubt of your eligibility. Whereappropriate, contact the organisationfor further clarification.

If you succeed in gaining financialsupport, remember that it is alwaysgood practice to keep charitiesinformed of the progress of yourproject and what you have achievedwith the funding. This might even bea requirement of accepting thefunding. You may also be asked to actas an ambassador to the charity backin the UK by giving talks or

presentations on your experiences.This might be something to thinkabout when making your application,particularly if the organisation is keento involve past participants inpromoting its scheme.

It may help your cause if you raisesome of the funds yourself. By doingthis, it might give you an edge overother applicants and prove howdedicated and determined you are tosucceed. You may also find it usefulto break down the total costs of yourproject and apply to several differentgrant-makers for smaller amounts ofmoney, as this could increase yourchances of securing the right amountof funding.

There are other alternatives tofunding gap year projects andvoluntary work overseas. Many largevolunteer organisations providefunded or partly funded volunteeringand exchange schemes that will allowyou to take part in voluntary work ata minimum cost. Some can offerbursaries to cover specific costs, suchas the project fee or flight fare, andothers may ask you to fundraise ablock amount of money but will payfor all your necessary costs in return.

Below are a few fully or partly fundedvoluntary schemes available to youngpeople living in the UK.
