The Deakin and Combe Memorial Trust invites applications for assistance with the cost of further/higher education from:
- Those who are studying or about to study an agriculture related course.
- Applicants whose parent(s)/guardian(s) and/or grandparent(s) have made a contribution towards agriculture in England or Wales.
- Previously successful applicants who have provided their report on how their grant was used.
Applications are now closed
The closing date for applications was Monday 2 September 2024. Grants for those who were successful in their applications will be sent out by the end of October 2024.
Grants towards courses, laptops and books
Successful candidates receive grants of between £500 and £1,000 towards items such as training courses, laptops and books – a significant sum for any student while at college or university.
The Deakin and Combe Memorial Trust
These grants are made possible by the continuing support of the Deakin family and the trust of the late Nora Combe.
The Deakin and Combe Memorial Trust was first formed in 1944 in memory of George Deakin, Vice President of the NFU and chair of the Pigs Marketing Board, who was tragically killed in 1943.
