The Taylor Fund educational bursaries (Parish of Newbottle, Sunderland)

Educational bursaries of up to £1,000 for individuals who live in, or have close ties to, the Parish of Newbottle in Sunderland, to support their studies. This is a grant to individuals, not organisations. It can cover course fees, travel, course materials, books and equipment, and a person can be supported for up to three years. The fund is rolling but money is limited each year, so grants are made first-come, first-served.
