The Francis Bernard Caunt Education Trust

Registered Charity Number 1108858

Francis Bernard Caunt was a resident of Newark who sadly passed away leaving no family or next of kin. He decided to leave the bulk of his estate to create an educational Trust Fund which could help the residents of Newark and surrounding areas to progress with either their academic or vocational education.

The Trust Fund is administered by Trustees (who are representative of the Newark and Sherwood community) who will consider any application for a Grant against the following criteria:

• The applicant should live in Newark or the surrounding areas and attend Newark schools or colleges or Southwell or Tuxford schools. The applicant must have attended one of those institutions in the previous 8 years and for a period of at least 2 years.

• The applicant should be intending to study either part-time or full-time for at least 1 year on a recognised academic/vocational course.

• The application should be supported by a letter of reference from one of the following:

- A Head Teacher/Principal
- Current Employer
- Other appropriate person eg Career Adviser; Church Leader

Closing date for completed applications to be received is 30th June, 2013. Grants will be for a minimum of £500 and a maximum of £2000 although the Trustees retain an absolute discretion on these amounts.
