The mission of the Gilchrist Educational Trust focuses on enhancing academic education by bridging gaps and widening the availability of specific educational opportunities.
The grant is designed to support full-time students at a British University who are facing unexpected financial difficulties that may prevent them from completing their degree or higher education course. It also extends to students who are required to spend a short period studying abroad as part of their academic program, aiming to ensure that unforeseen financial challenges do not hinder their educational progress and completion.
