Application Form
Before applying to the Wavendon Foundation for a grant here are a few tips which may help both you with the application process and the Trustees in coming to a decision.
Fill out all the required information on the application.
Read our website and pay particular attention to About Us/What We Do. Be concise. If you have a CV don’t just copy from it. Write something new. Tell us why you are applying – about your circumstances and what you have achieved so far.
If you are requesting funding for a specific project or activity, please give an idea of (i) the costs you are projecting for it, and (ii) other income, if any, to help cover cost and whether this income is currently secured or provisional.
If you are requesting funding to help with general or specific living costs or tuition fees, please give us some information about (i) your overall likely expenditure, and (ii) what other income you may have or hope to have in addition to the grant requested from the Foundation.
We understand that you are ‘passionate’ about your chosen career so try to keep your application to NO MORE than TWO SIDES of A4 paper.
Unless you feel it to be necessary to your application, do not include information which the UK Data Protection Action defines as “requiring stronger legal protection”. This includes “race, ethnic background, political or religious beliefs, and sex life or orientation”
Please provide YouTube links wherever possible. These are extremely useful to the trustees when making their decision. Please don’t use Instragram or anything that requires a password.
