Mountbatten Memorial Grants. |
|
|
|
The Mountbatten Memorial Grants are intended for overseas students from the Commonwealth, who have |
|
encountered unforeseen financial difficulty in, or towards the end, of their final year of study at a university |
|
Sir Ernest Cassel Educational Trust |
in the United Kingdom. The grants are intended to help with living expenses in order to achieve the |
successful completion of the course. The grants are therefore not scholarships or forms of sponsorship and |
|
do not cover fees or part fees. They can not be regarded as a source of primary funding. |
|
As these awards are intended to assist those students who are at the end of their studies, students who have |
|
just commenced a one year course are unlikely to be assisted. The Trust does not make retrospective | |
grants or pay debts. | |
The following universities administer these grants on our behalf: the Universities of Birmingham, Cardiff, |
|
Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Manchester, Nottingham, Reading, Imperial College London and | |
University College London. Overseas students from the Commonwealth, at these universities, should | |
apply to the university office responsible for overseas student welfare and support. |
|
Overseas students from the Commonwealth, at other universities in the United Kingdom, should apply to |
