The primary aim of The William Barry Trust is to further vocational education and training. We aid and support students on vocational courses such as technical, craft, music, drama and art courses.

 

Since its creation in 1976, The William Barry Trust has spent millions of pounds and helped many thousands of students. For almost 50 years, this help was in the form of a personal grant to individual students.

 

From 2025, however, we have changed the way money is distributed to students and we have partnered with universities and colleges - supporting their bursary programs and introducing significant William Barry Trust Scholarship prizes at those educational facilities. 

​

In order to benefit from our support you must therefore already be enrolled in one of our partner educational institutions.
