An online application form will be available on the Apply now page during the periods below. You can apply during any application period. Please note that awards are intended to be for course projects rather than research programmes, and the approximate value will not normally be more than £500.
Individual applicants, including Product Design Engineering students at Glasgow School of Art, seeking financial support for their course project should complete the form on the Apply now page during the application periods. The form will not be available outside these periods and unfortunately the Trust cannot consider individual applications received outside the published application periods.
If you wish to apply on behalf of an organised group working on a project not part of a course, you can contact us at any time using this form. We will contact you to discuss the possibility of support.
