In general, FoC offers grants up to a maximum of about £500, but more is available in special circumstances. Grants are paid to institutions only, not individuals. Grants are generally restricted to schools and summer schools who wish to begin or support courses in Latin, Greek, classical civilisation and ancient history. We do not give grants for travel abroad.

There are no grant application forms. If you wish to apply for a grant, write to Jeannie Cohen (51 Achilles Road, London NW6 1DZ) or send her an email. Since we do not have a committee structure, we are usually able to reply fairly quickly, but in order to do so the application must fulfil the following requirements.

So please save our time and yours and:

• Apply on the institution's letter-head.
  
• Be specific about how much is needed.
  
• Give detailed costings.
  
• Make clear why the money is needed.
