SIGBI set up in 1975 the Diamond Education Grant to fund female students to help with cost of courses and books/equipment
This grant awarding body’s purpose is to provide grants to assist women to update their skills after employment breaks or to acquire new skills to improve their opportunities for employment and promotion. Awards are made to help towards the cost of course fees or books/equipment, not for living expenses.
The grants that have been awarded have included courses as diverse as helicopter engineering, teacher training, an MA in play therapy, a BSc in midwifery, a conversion course for an overseas qualified pharmacist and a diploma in sign language interpreting.
SIGBI are now accepting applications for grants towards courses that take place during the academic year September 2021 to July 2022.
