Armed Forces Education Trust

The Armed Forces Education Trust is a charity working for children and young adults whose education has been compromised or put at risk as a result of parents’ past or current service in our Armed Forces.

The grants we give make a difference to young lives, helping improve their educational opportunities or supporting special skills or talents.

The Armed Forces Education Trust target young people under the age of 25 who are, or were, dependents of serving members of the UK armed forces, who would not achieve their educational potential without extra financial support.

We support those who fit these criteria who can demonstrate that they have been impacted or disadvantaged, or have financial difficulties, as a consequence of the service of the relative on whom they depend.

To help fund the education of the children of service men and women who have been disadvantaged by their parents’ service to ensure children do not miss out because of their parents’ service, regardless of age, ability, parental rank or past or current service.

To provide schools with funding for additional resources to support the education of children whose parents serve or have served in our Armed Forces.
