The aim of the Trust is to assist those parents who, having selected private education for their child with reasonable expectations of being able to meet the considerable costs from their own resources, are unable to pay the fees as a result of genuine hardship, arising from an unforeseen change of circumstances.

Grants are made at the sole discretion of the Trustees.

The Armed Forces Education Trust is a charity supporting children and young adults whose education has been compromised or put at risk as a result of parents' past or current service in our Armed Forces.

We are one of the largest independent grant-giving organisations helping those families who have lost a seafaring parent. The Institution supports families by providing grants for the children throughout their education.

Educational grants for individuals under 25 years of age who have lived or attended school in the City of Westminster, for at least two years. The Foundation also gives grants to schools and organisations that are situated within the City of Westminster. The school or organisation must be assisting people that live or attend school in the area.

We can support with educational costs for children where at least one parent is, or has recently been, a sales representative, selling business to business, with a significant element of travel and whose family circumstances have been affected by adversity.
