When to apply, and when to expect a response
We only make one round of grants per academic year. Applications for awards for degree courses starting in the academic year that begins in September 2024 have now opened. You have until May 1 2024 to get your application to us. This round includes Open University courses beginning in October 2024 and February 2025. If you have any questions about our form, about how to apply to university, or how to apply for a student loan, you can contact us on 07747 365037 or at office@longfordtrust.org
Successful applicants will be notified by the end of June 2024 with a provisional offer of an award and will be invited to a face-to-face meeting with a team member which will enable us to confirm their award.
