The next grants meeting will be held in June. For applications to be considered, all forms must be received by Friday 31 May 2013

To apply for a grant, the Trust requires you to complete the application form most relevant to your circumstances. There are currently three application forms depending on the purpose of your grant:

Application Form individual.pdf

Application Form organisations.pdf

Application Form boarding fees.pdf
Explanatory notes for boarding fees.pdf

When applying for a grant, we ask that all sections of the application form are completed in full, especially with reference to your financial situation as this information will form the basis of our decision.

John Watson's Trust welcome repeat applications however, we recommend that this does not take place within the same year.

Please note, John Watson's Trust cannot accept requests for day school or university fees however, grants are occasionally made for funding school expenses such as equipment, outings and tuition. School boarding fees may be covered however, this is usually in exceptional cases where personal circumstances make boarding a necessary option.

Should you require any assistance completing your application please contact Laura Campbell at lcampbell@wssociety.co.uk or on 0131 225 0658.
