Your preferred contact details:


Previous experience, training and qualifications

What you write will help us understand your current situation and to check whether you meet the criteria for the fund. You could start your answer like this: “I had a hard time at school and left with four GCSEs (English grade 4, Maths grade 5 etc.), then did an apprenticeship at college. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish my apprenticeship and now…”

If you don’t have many qualifications or work experience don’t worry, this won’t harm your application and we will take your background and situation into account.

You don’t have to answer this question if none of these things describe you. If you do answer it, then what you write will help us understand your circumstances and any disadvantages you may have faced. You could start your answer like this: “I have ADHD and found school difficult…”
