If you are affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease, are between the ages of 15-25 and have been resident in the UK for at least six months, you may apply for a Young Person's Grant from the Crohn's and Colitis UK Personal Grants Fund.
You will need to show that you are on a low income and have a need arising from your IBD.
Grants do not exceed £500 and a young person may only receive one grant in a year, and usually no more than three grants in any six year period. Applications can be for any item or need relating to education or training, which arises as a consequence of having IBD.
Some examples of grants:
- Books and/or other course material
- Tuition fees
- Additional costs of university/college en-suite
- Travel passes
How to apply
Guidance Notes and the Educational and Vocational Grant Application Form are available for download, and the Guidance Notes will help you to complete the form.
All information supplied by you will be treated by Crohn's and Colitis UK in confidence.
Completed application forms should be sent to: Personal Grants Fund Secretary, PO Box 334, St Albans, Herts AL1 2WA.
