Charitable Trusts for those Studying Medicine as a Second Degree

The Thomas Wall Trust

Grants of £1000 are offered to those in financial need taking undergraduate vocational courses of education which will lead to paid employment (other than a full time first degree)

The Trust is particularly interested in helping those who, through adverse or unexpected circumstances, have financial difficulties.

Grants normally supplement assistance received from other sources, so the Trust needs to be satisfied you will have sufficient funds to complete the course.

Applications are considered between January and Setember. Full details and application form can be found on their website.
