Local Funding

In a typical year The Old Enfield Charitable Trust administers around £250,000 in discretionary grants to families, individuals and community groups residing and living within the boundary of the Ancient Parish.

Through the Education Grants Scheme, Students and residents undertaking education or training are invited to apply for assistance with living costs including equipment, childcare and other general expenses during their course of study. Students are expected to take up loan offers and make approaches for Access Funding, as is the responsibility of the local authority or central government, prior to seeking assistance.

The Charity expects students to take up the loan offered by Student Finance England. Applications will not be considered, (except under special circumstances), if the Student Finance loan has not been taken up.

Education grants are for students and residents undertaking education or training who need assistance with living costs.
