The Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust (LTCT), which provides assistance for the families of those working in convenience retailing, has unveiled new university and vocational bursaries, open to students up to PhD level who are in financial need.
Originally founded in 1925 by Lord Leverhulme, the LTCT is dedicated to supporting individuals through education, with the belief that in turn this will benefit local communities, and society as a whole.
The bursaries come as part of the creation of a new distinct charitable identity for the trust, with a focus on educational support, that will roll out over the coming months, making it easier to reach and engage with those who are eligible.
Anna Vignoles, Director at LTCT, commented: “Our bursaries recognise the importance of supporting a diverse range of children and young people so that they can continue their education despite facing economic disadvantages. We firmly believe that aiding people’s educational development can not only lead to helping them to reach their academic potential, but also benefits the wider communities they live in.”
