Access to Education and Employment Grants from Refugee Survival Trust, Scotland, UK
The Refugee Survival Trust (RST) is offering Access to Education and Employment (A to EE) Grants to refugees and asylum seekers who need a small amount of money to help them access education or employment. Grant applicants have used their grants to enroll in college, cover transport costs, buy books for university courses and to retake qualifications from their home country, that are not currently recognised in the UK. A to EE Grants are only available to refugees and asylum seekers living in Scotland and are only provided when no other support is available. Applicants may work with RST partners Scottish Refugee Council, Freedom from Torture, the Bridges Programme, and Glasgow Clyde College, all based in Glasgow, to apply for the grant. Grants take up to five working days to be approved.
