How To Apply
Each application must fall into one of these three categories:
Pursuit Of Excellence
The fund supports the pursuit of excellence and encourages the development of talent in young people whatever that might be. In the past, grants have been awarded to pupils or students who are excelling in their chosen sport. But the Charitable Trust does not only cover sporting achievement. Applications are invited from young people aged between 5 and 19, who attend one of the academies sponsored by Delta Academies Trust.
International Relations
The fund would consider applications from students or groups of students who would like to develop international links. In the past, the fund has contributed to exchange visits where it believes the visit will enhance student development and experiences. The Charitable Trust continues to develop its international links, and work is commencing on links to every continent of the world.
Enterprise
With a wish to support the local economy and local people, the Charitable Trust would also consider applications from students who once attended one of Delta’s academies, who would like to either start up a new business, or need funding to develop an innovative business idea. Applications are welcomed from local entrepreneurs up to the aged of 25.
