Grants For Educational Authorities

We are dedicated to alleviating the challenges that sometimes arise in the education of children of Armed Forces members due to their parents' service. Education is a crucial aspect of children's lives and our modern society, and we believe that no child should miss out. Our aim is to support the most disadvantaged children and improve their educational opportunities.

Collective grants are awarded to education providers, typically schools or education authorities, to facilitate educational support for service pupils. This support often involves specific educational interventions that result in demonstrably improved educational outcomes for service children. Additionally, we may provide grants to assist individual children in overcoming difficulties related to their parents' service and mobility.

To initiate the application process, we ask you to answer a few brief questions about your school or organization. If you meet the application criteria, you will be invited to complete a second form with your contact details and a brief summary of your inquiry. We will then get in touch with you to discuss the next steps, which may include completing an online application. Once we receive your completed application, it will be reviewed by the Trust during the next Trustees' meeting. If we require any additional information, we will reach out to you and keep you informed of the progress. For more information, please download our Collective Application Guidelines.

The Armed Forces Education Trust is a charity that supports children and young adults whose education has been compromised or put at risk as a result of parents’ past or current service in the Armed Forces.
