How to Apply for Funding for Electives
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)
