The Tarvin Educational Foundation is the Charity set up to manage the endowment of the Old Grammar School in Tarvin. The purpose of the Charity is to financially assist with the educational needs of students of Secondary School age, or older, who live in the Parishes of Tarvin, Duddon and Burton, Kelsall, Ashton, Mouldsworth and Clotton Hoofield.
This help takes the form of financial assistance with fees, books, instruments, tools for a trade or for other educational projects.Usually today this means financial help with the costs of University or College courses, Apprenticeships or overseas projects of an educational nature.
The awards are made every September by the Governors of the Foundation who are representatives from some of the relevant Parish Councils and from our Borough Council (as the Local Education Authority) along with 2 locally co-opted Governors.
The Governors are pleased to receive applications for 2023 from Students living in the appropriate Parish.Any student interested in making an application this year should email our Clerk, Mr D.H. Cotgreave, at clerk@tedf.org.uk by the end of July. Please include your full name, postal address including postcode, email address and contact phone number in this initial email.
An application form will be emailed back and this should be completed and returned by email to the Clerk by 4th September 2023 so that it can be considered at the September meeting of Governors. Successful applicants will receive their grants later in September by bank transfer.
