Scottish Charity No: SC022283.

This Trust was established to enable the Company to encourage and support a wide range of projects which will benefit children and young people up to the age of 30.

For the time being, the Trustees have resolved to direct the income towards supporting entry to further education of students who, without that support, would be unlikely to take up a place. Applications will be considered from students who are attending, or have attended, senior secondary schools within the Edinburgh area, and who wish to further or continue their education at one of Edinburgh's degree-awarding establishments.

The current degree-awarding establishments are:

• The University of Edinburgh
• Edinburgh College of Art
• Heriot-Watt University
• Edinburgh Napier University
• Queen Margaret University 

The merit of each application is adjudged in consultation with the Universities. It must be appreciated that the availability of funding is limited and grants will be made at the discretion of the Trustees to the most needy.

Application forms are available from the Secretary & Chamberlain of the Company or from the relevant University administartion department.
