Every year, the Company of Entrepreneurs Trust makes thousands of pounds’ worth of grants to individuals, organisations and charities to advance academic and practical skills in business and entrepreneurship. The deadline for applications for 2023 grants is 30th September 2022. This is particularly relevant to Y13 students considering enrolling on business studies courses at university in September 2022, and final year undergraduates looking to move on to postgraduate programmes.
 
Are you:
 
•    a school, college or university looking to provide bursaries/scholarships in business studies, or to provide extra-curricular entrepreneurship or business simulation classes?
•    a charity or other organisation that supports/promotes young enterprise, social enterprise, or other forms of early-stage businesses?
•    a promising student considering business studies at undergraduate or postgraduate level (e.g. MBA), but anxious about course fees or living costs?
 
If the answer is yes, then please visit https://guildofentrepreneurstrust.org/beneficiary-applications/ for more information about grants and a straightforward online application form. Applications need not be very detailed at this stage – a simple outline of your position and circumstances is all that is required to begin the process. The Trustee Board conducts an initial sift in October, and more detailed information will be sought from longlisted candidates thereafter.
