The Rose Grant Special Award

​The Rose Grant Special Award is an additional award worth up to £500 open to outstanding applicants who can show exceptional academic achievement, and an outstanding commitment to the community or human rights. This award is given in addition to our usual grant of currently up to £1,500.  

 

Applicants must complete the application form for our usual grant, and also provide a separate letter of application and a reference for the Rose Grant Special Award.

​

What it can be spent on

​

The Rose Grant Special Award is awarded for educational purposes. For example, it could be used to fund courses, books or equipment where the costs exceed the current £1500 limit on our usual Ruth Hayman Trust grants. 

 

The Rose Grant Special Award may also be for educational purposes more broadly, including items which may not be eligible for a standard grant. For example, a Rose Grant Special Award could be used to fund costs of travel, childcare, a computer or stationery, provided that these are needed to enable the applicant to study. The award might also be spent on activities which will broaden the applicant’s education and cultural understanding, such as visiting an exhibition or a day trip to part of the UK that applicants have not visited before.

 

The award may be spent on more than one educational item.
