All applications must be received before midnight on Sunday 17th May 2020 via the online application form.
You will receive an automatic acknowledgement via email when your application has been received (please check your spam/junk folder for this).
The applications will then be reviewed by the Leathersellers Grants team and members of a working group of Liverymen (members of the Livery Company) and a shortlist drawn together for interview.
Interviews will take place on the 1st, 2nd, 9th and 10th of July 2020 at Leathersellers’ Hall, in London. You will be notified by email to either be invited for interview or to inform you that you have not been shortlisted. Unless your e-mail address changes, there is no need for you to be in touch after submitting the application until you hear from us. On occasion you may not be invited to an interview but still be awarded a grant.
As the interviews will take place before exam results are confirmed, there may be a need for further interviews in September. We will contact you if this is the case.
If you are offered a grant, you will be sent an acceptance form to complete and be required to provide confirmation from the university or other establishment to confirm you have registered. The funds will be paid to you on receipt of that, ideally early in the academic year 2020-2021.
Should you be given a multi-year grant, you will be required each year to submit an annual review showing your continuing need and progress to date, before any further funds are released. More information will be provided should you be successful.
