Grants for teachers in training
08 February 2008
Hockerill educational foundation
The Hockerill Educational Foundation invites applications for grants (usually £500 - £1000 pa) to teachers in training who have particular financial difficulties, for example:
- those who have additional family or other costs and responsibilities
- those who have no family support to fall back on
- mature students for whom teaching is a career change
- those not eligible for the normal statutory loan/grant support
Students training to teach Religious Education are our highest priority, but we can also help students in other areas, particularly primary education students. If you think you may be eligible, you should apply now for grants for the next academic year 2008-09. Please note that we cannot make "emergency" grants for the current year.
Applications received by March 31 have priority, but we will consider applications received during April/May if funds are available. The final deadline is May 31.
