The Trust makes individual awards, All Saints Scholarships, to students from
the UK/EU ('home' students) and to students who are citizens of countries that
are currently full members of the Commonwealth. Enquiries from people who are not eligible to apply may not
be answered.
All applicants must be over the age of 18. There is no upper age limit; but the Trust must be confident
that those applying will be in a position to make a commensurate ongoing contribution to society as the fruits of any award that they receive.
All programmes must be carried out at recognised institutions of higher education in the UK.
All Saints' scholars are expected to advance education in accordance with the principles
and practices of the Church of England or of a Church in communion with it. Nevertheless
applications can be accepted from individuals of other faiths or of no faith,
provided that they can illustrate that they share the same life values as Christians.
