Realise Fund
The Realise Foundation Fund is a dual purpose endowment fund; one part focussing on building up a lasting endowment in order to facilitate the second part, the distribution of grants. The primary focus of the Realise Foundation Fund is to help people in further and higher education who are at risk of having to give up their studies due to financial hardship.
The fund was started in Summer 2009 and immediately opened for applications. From accepting applications for one meeting a year, it was quickly decided to open up a second round, so that the fund can target students and help when it is most needed - at the beginning of the academic year and at the beginning of the summer term, post Easter.
