A trust fund set up over fifty years ago is seeking applications from students requiring financial support. The Monmouthshire Farm Endowment Trust Fund was established to benefit Gwent-based students undertaking land orientated or agricultural courses and its trustees are keen to send a message to residents of the area administered by the pre 1974 Monmouthshire County Council that grants could be available. Trustees meet twice a year to consider applications.
The scheme is administered by the current Monmouthshire County Council and residents from Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire and Torfaen who are eligible to apply for a grant should contact the CYP Finance team at Monmouthshire County Council on 01633 64(4664)/(4507)/(4183) to request an application form.
