How to Apply for Funding
It is unlikely that any one organisation (funder) will agree to fund your entire elective so you need to be prepared to put together a package of funding from different sources. When applying for funding it’s a good idea to consider and include the following information when writing letters or filling out application forms:
- Where you are going, why and for how long
- What you hope to give and gain from the experience
- Be specific – have the details worked out before you apply for funding
- Tailor your application to the funder rather than sending out one standard letter to all. Highlight to each funder the ways in which your application meets their criteria
- A budget breakdown including all costs and other funding sources (e.g. savings from part-time work, contributions from family, loans and money from other fundraising efforts including results of applications to other funders)
