Hello

We are so pleased that you have reached out today – you have taken a really positive step to try and support your ongoing career path.

Our mission is to support people starting or continuing a career in the Motor Industry and who face financial difficulty which could affect their future ambitions.

Before you fill in your application, we’d like to run through a few things to help you get started:

  • This is your opportunity to explain what you need the grant money for and why, so the more background information you can provide the better your chance of having your application approved – if you’re struggling why not ask a tutor, mentor, coach, assessor, manager or family member to help you
  • You will be asked to upload supporting documents such as references, payslips, cost quotes etc. so make sure you have what you need to hand
  • Your application will automatically save as you go along so you don’t have to complete it all in one go – so long as you revisit it on the same device e.g. phone, tablet, PC, you can pick up where you left off
  • Once you submit your completed application it will be presented to our Board of Trustees for consideration and a member of the team will be in touch to let you know how you got on

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]

Good luck!
