The Greenwich Blue Coat Foundation is a Charitable Trust which was established in 1963 from the endowments of the Greenwich Blue Coat School for Girls upon it’s amalgamation with the Blackheath & Kidbrook Church of England Schools to form the Blackheath Bluecoat School. Under the terms of the trust deed the trustees are able to make awards to individual applicants of either sex who qualify (see qualifications below). They are not able to make awards to any other institution, group or body.

Qualifications for an award from the Foundation


Applicants must:


1. Be under 25 years of age


and


2. For not less than two years previous to their application been resident or

attending school in the London Borough of Greenwich

The trustees regret that they are unable to consider applicants who fall outside these qualifications.

The Foundation has a relatively small sum of money available annually and does not therefore usually make large individual awards. The average award is around £500.  

How to apply for an award


All applicants are required to fill in an application form which can be downloaded from the link on this page, or obtained from the Clerk to the Trustees, whose address also appears on this page. Completed forms should be returned to the Clerk. All questions on the form must be answered and the name of a referee provided. Permission should be obtained in advance from prospective referees. Failure to complete all the questions on the form may delay a decision by the trustees.
