What if I managed to borrow the money and have already paid the fees?

​If you send us proof that the fees have been paid after the date of your application, and you have borrowed the money to do so, we can pay another person, or you.

​

What do I do if I move house?

Please let us know, if you have made an application and then change addresses. We sometimes send award letters to successful applicants, which are returned by the post office because the person has moved and cannot be contacted.

​

What do I do if I don’t need the money any more?

If the college or university decides not to charge you fees or you have received them from somewhere else, please let us know. Other applicants are waiting for the money. You can apply again in the future, for the next year’s course, if needed.

​

What do I do if I can’t raise the rest of the money for my course?

Your sponsorship letter is valid for 4 months.  Please contact us before your letter's expiry date if you still have not been able to find the remaining fees.

​

How long is my grant valid?

Payments must be made within 4 months of the date of the sponsorship letter (or equivalent), unless you contact the Trust to request an extension and this has been agreed by the Trustees.

​

Can I apply again?

You can apply again for a grant, even if you have been successful. You are welcome to apply for further years of study, though not for the same year (unless it is for a short or modular course). Please quote your previous Ruth Hayman Trust number (RHT number).
