FRANCON TRUST 

Financial support for school examination high achievers but limited financial resources, from London, to attend first degree courses in subjects related to careers in accountancy, medicine, engineering and similar professions. Applications, supported by head teachers, are required nine months before attendance at university. A brief letter should be sent initially. There is an application process.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
