About
You may be eligible to obtain other grants and funding by applying for an Educational Trust or Scheme attached to a particular organisation. These are often based on your specific circumstances, and the amount you receive will vary. The charity Turn2us has a useful search engine on their website.
Here are a few to get you started:
Charis
Having trouble paying your bills? Then you might qualify for help.
Some utilities providers have a trust fund attached to assist customers, including students, who are facing financial difficulties. If you’re having trouble with your gas, electricity or water bill and are unable to pay, you may be able to apply for assistance in paying these and other priority bills.
