Application Procedure
Completed application forms must be submitted to the student's institution and not to the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust. The institution must countersign each form and post them to the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust, 1 Pemberton Row, London, EC4A 3BG.
Application forms are available from your institution or can be downloaded below.
Institutions may assist with distributing application forms to potential applicants who do not have access to a computer and who may meet the qualifying criteria regarding eligibility and financial need.
If an application is approved by the Trust an offer letter will be sent to the institution and the institution will be asked to write accepting this and confirming the student's acceptance. The institution should also confirm its responsibility for administering and accounting for the award.
