Application Submitted - What next? 

Successful Applications

You should receive an email a few weeks after the closing date to tell you if your application has been successful or unsuccessful. We are sorry we can’t enter into correspondence about unsuccessful applications.

​

If your application has been successful, you should receive a sponsorship letter about three weeks after the closing date for applications. We do not normally make more than one award per course in any one academic year.

 

We normally pay fees directly to colleges or other institutions by bank transfer.  We will send you a sponsorship letter for the organisation where you are studying.

 

It is important you tell us that you have received the grant. You can either email grants@ruthhaymantrust.org.uk, giving your Ruth Hayman Trust number (RHT number) or return by post the acknowledgement slip which accompanies your award. If you did not acknowledge receipt of a previous grant, we may take this into account when considering your application.

​

If there are any problems please quote your RHT number in all correspondence.

Unsuccessful Applications

You will get an email about three weeks after the closing date for applications to inform you if your grant has been unsuccessful. We receive many applications and each one is considered very carefully. We also have to consider the money available for grants. We do not enter into any discussion regarding unsuccessful applications but you are welcome to try again in the future.

​

Why do some applications fail?

 

Some applications fail because applicants do not complete the form fully. For example, they might not:

  • state their first language

  • show what they need the money for (which course, which exam or equipment)

  • demonstrate financial need

  • include a reference
