The
Funds of the Trust are used in the following ways:-
Grants to Individuals
:- Applications
are considered from students who have made proper provision to fund a degree or
higher education course but find themselves facing unexpected financial
difficulties which may prevent completion of it; also from students who are
required, as part of their course, to spend a short period studying abroad. Applicants must be full-time students
at a British University.
Grants to Organisations :- Modest grants are made to British organisations if it seems likely that
the project(s) for which funds are sought will fill up educational gaps or make
more widely available a particular aspect of education or learning. The
project(s) may be in the U.K. or overseas.
Grants to Expeditions :- The Trust supports a number
of small or medium-sized
British expeditions with teams of three or more proposing to carry out research
of a scientific nature in another country.
Gilchrist Fieldwork
Award :- The biennial Gilchrist Fieldwork Award of £15,000
is offered every even-numbered year for the best overseas research proposal by
a small team of qualified scientists or academics in the
Registered Charity No. 313877
