It is with regret that the All Saints Educational Trust has decided that it cannot make any new individual 'Hardship' or other exceptional Awards which will be tenable during the academic/financial year beginning on 1 August 2010.

This decision has had to be taken for two reasons:

1. because of the steep and continuing decline in the investment income expected during the next twelve months (and in all probability well beyond that period) as compared to that received during the 2008-2009 financial year;
2. because the Trust has had to meet exceptional costs itself, arising from the decision of our former Church landlords requiring us to leave our offices in St Katharine Cree Church so that the church can be re-ordered and re-furbished. The short-term and longer-term expenses of relocation are not insignificant.

Students whose awards have already been approved and are payable in 2010-2011 or beyond will receive the agreed grants - whether for maintenance or fees - in the usual way, as described in the correspondence from the Trust setting out the terms under which an All Saints scholarship is offered. This is an absolute guarantee.

Meanwhile, potential applicants to the Trust should note that the Trust will next consider new applications in April/May 2011, for awards tenable in 2011-2012 and beyond, in accordance with the timetable set out elsewhere on this website.

Preliminary enquiries about new awards tenable during 2010-2011 will not normally be responded to.
