Student Hardship Funding

If you are at college or university and finding it hard to manage financially, the Highland Children’s Trust might be able to help. Provided your home address is in the Highlands, you are under the age of 25 and your parents’ income does not exceed a certain level, you may be eligible for a grant. Current grants available are £1,000 per year, and £1,500 for a final year student. 

Applicants must enclose a copy of the letter from the awarding authority allocating their grant/bursary application. Any student entitled to apply for a loan under the Student Loans Scheme must have taken up this option before an application to this Trust will be considered.

Students must have applied for the grant by the beginning of September as the grant is paid in two instalments in October and February. You can apply directly through our website www.hctrust.co.uk.
