A grant is a ‘one-off payment’ for a specific educational purpose – for instance, to provide a college or university grant.<\/p>

Consideration is primarily given to youngsters who have special family circumstances – such as those in receipt of working family tax credit, income support, invalidity benefit or jobseeker’s allowance. The Directors also consider young people who are completely on their own financially and could not complete their course without the Foundation’s help. All applications need to be supported by a letter of recommendation from the school or a tutor.<\/p>

Schools and organisations may also apply for grants to support the education of young people from the Borough of Kettering. Particular consideration is given to schools that have no PTA in place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A bursary may be awarded to young people who show exceptional talent – for instance, in the arts or sports – and, as for grant applications, bursaries are only considered for those young people who live in Kettering or in the Borough of Kettering.<\/p>

Funding will take into account the support required by that youngster over their training, performing and competing period, which can be a number of years. Before reaching a decision, the Foundation’s Directors will have a meeting with the young person concerned, and will take into account the financial situation of their parents (or guardian) – who are also interviewed – to see what support is required. Innovation and need are also discussed. A bursary is generally awarded for a particular academic year, and paid in three termly instalments.<\/p>

Reports on progress and achievements are required throughout the year from the youngster and\/or their parents (or guardian). Funding may be continued, but reviews would be required on a yearly basis to monitor the recipient’s progress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
