WHO CAN GET A GRANT AND HOW


Grants are available in selected prisons for men and women so long as:

  1. Their application is supported by the Prison's Education Department
  2. They have a reasonable chance of completing the course before they complete their sentence


The Trust works closely with Prison Education Departments and only accepts applications that have their support. Prisons are required to contribute 10% to the total cost of every course for which the Trust makes a grant.

The prisoner completes a simple application form and writes a short letter giving reasons for wanting to take a particular course. The application form is endorsed by the Education Department and sent to the Trust.

Trustees meet monthly to consider applications. We usually send the results to the prison within 10 days of that meeting. The Trust orders the courses and invoices prisons for their contribution once quarterly.

Prisoners may apply for vocational and academic courses and for art materials.

It is best to check whether the prison is in the scheme before advising prisoners to apply.
