Grants for StudentsAre you a Lambeth resident from a low income household wanting to improve your future prospects? If so, you may be able to get a grant of up to £1,500 for non-childcare costs and up to £4,000 for childcare costs.
PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer accepting grant applications for the current 2020/2021 academic year for students on university courses (applications for 2021/22 will open 1 April 2021). We are still considering applications for grants towards further education/vocational training courses. Our grant can help with the costs of a first degree or a vocational (work related) qualification that has a strong likelihood of leading to future work and employability. These costs can include course fees; travel costs; books; special clothing; equipment; study/field trips and childcare.
We cannot consider applications for study in school year 13 or earlier. If you require assistance in completing an application, the Walcot Advice project based at Centre 70 in West Norwood can help you. To book an appointment, please contact the advisor on 07832 607083 or mkehoe@centre70.org.uk. Hear from some of our student beneficiaries on how a Walcot Grant helped them in their studies
