The Trust makes awards of up to £1,000 per year to deserving students, often for the duration of their course. There’s no catch: all the money is free and none of it has to be paid back.
Sounds good…but who qualifies?
In order to qualify for an award, you must:
- Have lived in the Merseyside area for at least three years prior to application
- Be eligible to receive an EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance)
- Have (or be in the process of applying for) a place at a higher education establishment
- Be eligible to receive a full or partial maintenance grant
Before making an application, you might want to read over the profiles of students we’ve given awards to in the past. Student Profiles

Application process
The application process couldn’t be easier and consists of three simple steps:
First, fill in the application form. This can be downloaded here.
- Second, write an accompanying letter explaining a bit about yourself, why you applying for the award and what you would do with it. Together with your completed application form, you need to send your letter to The John Moran Educational Trust, PO Box 129, Aylesbury, HP22 4XE.
- Third, attend a short interview. After we’ve received all the applications, we’ll draw up a shortlist of applicants to interview. If you’re invited for interview, we’ll also take up your references at this stage. Interviews will take place in Liverpool, and will be carried out by a panel consisting of a minimum of three Trustees. Interviews will last for around 30 minutes. Before the interview takes place, we will expect you to have prepared at least some notes or, if you prefer, a small presentation, that cover your hobbies and interests, any work you do to help fund yourself, a little about your family background, and your aspirations for the future. We would also like to know why you chose the course you’ve applied for, and what you plan to do afterwards.
Timetable for students applying in 2010
The closing date for applications in 2010 is Thursday 29th April. All applications must be received by 12pm that day. If you haven’t heard from us by Thursday 20th May, then, unfortunately, we won’t be calling you for an interview.
Interviews will be held on Saturday12th June 2010.
