A Grant Giving Trust
for the People of Glasgow

Applications for funding

You may apply to the Trust at any time of year but you must apply well before your course is due to start. We award grants to a wide variety of people in many different disciplines, from School trips to Postgraduate courses.

Applications are not made to a specific category of funding – so you may submit an application even if you’re not sure which category you are applying for. Your submission will be individually considered and we will make a decision.

Amounts awarded range between £1,250 and £1,650. We give around 60 grants every year to the value of about £50,000. The Trust has been established for over 75 years and is in fact an amalgamation of a number of local Educational Charities.

Glasgow Education and Marshall Trust, through their generous sponsorship enabled me to pursue my course in jewellery design from HND to B. Des. in Jewellery and Technology, without the added worry of financial burden. The money allowed me to concentrate on my studies and helped me get back on my feet after redundancy. I will always be grateful to the Trust and the board members for their support.

The Marshall Trust have now helped me for three years as I have started to take trips out from Govan High to Spain. I consider the Marshall Trust to have partnered with us in Govan High to make things possible that may have been ordinarily out of reach to our young people.
