study or training but you do not expect the Trust to provide the
total cost of your chosen course or period of training.
|
| |
4)
Your application must be supported by two references.
|
| |
5)
Before applying to the Trust you should already have an offer of
a place for a course or training program which should prepare you
for your intended career in the UK or the European Community.
|
| |
6)

Trust is satisfied that it is an essential part of your career training
and where a period of 12 months has elapsed since graduation.
|
| |

in very exceptional circumstances.
|
| |

Trust has a priority to help those who cannot afford the costs of
a course to gain their first qualification at the start of their land
based career training and therefore help for second degrees or postgraduate
study takes second priority. The type of career you plan is also taken
into account as the Trust seeks to fund the sort of training
that will be valuable to you and of use in the production and commercial
side of land based activities. |
