Changing Lives Second Awards

What are Second Awards?

We have two types of Second Awards:

  • Student Scholarship Awards (see definition below)
  • Enterprise Awards (see definition below)

These awards are available to any first award winner who received their award between one and three years ago. Applicants must be progressing well towards their identified goal and:

  • Be over 18
  • Be single
  • Have been clean and dry for at least six months
  • Have been living in secure accommodation for at least six months
  • Be supported by a support worker who has been working with you for at least three months

We are currently closed for applications. Next year's application round will open in March 2009.
