Bunny and Bradmore Charities Student Grants
As the season for A Level results and decisions about future higher education approaches, the Charities may be able to assist students with a grant towards the costs of books or other course materials. We have in the past contributed towards the cost of a stethoscope!
The grants are payable from the income of the Apprentice Fee Charity which was set up by the Parkyns family over 300 years ago. The aim of the Charity was to support young apprentices setting out on their chosen careers. Over the years, the number and nature of apprenticeships having changed, the Charity sought extensions to the Charity’s scheme to permit the Charity to make grants to students undertaking higher education courses to assist in their purchase of course materials. The Charity Commission approved this change.
Young persons under the age of 25 years living in the parishes of Bunny, Bradmore and Costock undertaking a course of higher education are eligible for a one-off grant. The scheme is not limited to new students but also to those already on a course who have not previously applied for a grant.
If you feel you meet the criteria or have a youngster who meets the criteria they may apply in writing to the Clerk to the Trustees at the address below, providing evidence of acceptance onto their chosen course. Applications will be considered by the Trustees at the next quarterly meeting following receipt of the application.
The next meetings are planned for 3rd September and 3rd December 2025.
