The Higher Education Fund (HEF) Bursary Scheme will provide financial support to students from the Chalkhill Community to help with the cost of studying a University degree or a vocational equivalent. Students are awarded a £9,000 bursary which is paid in instalments over a 3 year period.

​

Each application to the Bursary Scheme will reviewed and considered on an equal basis by the CCTF Bursary Sub-Committee, based on the eligibility criteria being met.

 

For this reason, we ask for some confidential information.

HOW THE BURSARY FUND IS MANAGED AND DISTRIBUTED

​

• On average five students are offered a grant of £3,000 each year, the total bursary is £9,000 per applicant which is awarded over three years. The payments of £1,000 are made every October, January and April (the payment in April will be released providing the compulsory 20 hours of volunteering work has been completed) .

 

• The Bursary grant like all our grants are discretionary.

​

• The Chalkhill Community Trust Fund Trustees will consider all applications fairly before making any awards. Once the Fund has been allocated in full, no more awards will be available during that year.

 

• As grants are awarded for the entire duration on the course for a maximum of three years, therefore changes in an student's circumstances such as a change in course or ending the course, are to be notified to the Chalkhill Community Trust Fund.
