Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Application for Trust and Charity

Personal information – You should begin with your name and the fund that you are

applying for. Then you should give details such as your age, nationality, marital status,

dependants, course of study that you are doing, the year that you are currently in and

the duration period of the course.

Explain why you are applying – You should explain the reasons why you are applying

and the factors that have led to your hardship. You should give a clear explanation of

your financial circumstances.

Explain how you meet the criteria of the charity/trust – The majority of trusts and

charities will have certain criteria’s for their funds. For example, some charities may just

fund people from a particular part of the country, others may fund students on certain

courses and some charities may specifically fund international students. Therefore you

should examine the criteria and clearly explain how you satisfy it.

How you are dealing with the situation – You should explain what action you have

taken to deal with your financial difficulty, such as taking up employment, careful

budgeting, consultation with a financial advisor, application for other financial support

available etc. It is important that you show that you have tried to resolve the problem

before applying for additional support.

Explain how the fund will help you – You should explain how you will use the funding

to enable you to carry on with your degree. You should also explain the long-term

benefits that it will have for you once you finish your study. You should finish by pointing

out that you will be grateful for any assistance that the organisation can provide.

Yours sincerely

(Signature)

Any Student
