Applications are now open for the Black Heart Scholarship Programme to inspire aspiration and remove barriers to achievement for the people it helps and serves. The deadline for applications is Sunday 31 October 2021.
The process is open to all stages of education from preparatory education to post graduate schooling and the bursaries can be applied to the costs of formal (classroom/school) education or experiential education (field/community).
The Foundation’s primary focus is educational access, learning, aspiration and achievement for under-resourced people from under-represented communities. The Foundation also proactively supports local organisations by distributing grants to initiatives that support the community and provide coaching and pastoral care to talented, ambitious and committed young people.
The Foundation’s primary aim is to provide gap funding, with the amount of funding awarded assessed on an individual basis. Applications are reviewed on a holistic basis taking into account educational activity, finances, social circumstances and personal aims for future outcomes.
