Are you 16-21? Live in Rugby. Going abroad to learn or help, others?
Having a break before University, Sixth Form or College? Keen to travel? See the world?
Each year we make a small number of travel grants for 16-21 year olds who live in Rugby. The grants are intended as a contribution to Gap Year funding or for 2-3 week summer journeys. Our David Lindop Award is broader. We make a sizeable grant to an individual who is organising an educational or charitable project. Our 2023 process is now open and will continue until the summer half-term. Please apply or ask a question. Visit our contact page.
