The Stuart Young Foundation

The Stuart Young Awards commemorate the life and achievements of an outstanding member of the Anglo-Jewish community, who made significant contributions in the fields of accountancy, communications and business, and also in voluntary social services.

The Trustees seek to aid students, during their years at University, who have academic merit, financial need and who, in the judgement of the Trustees, are likely to contribute subsequently to the wellbeing of the Jewish and wider communities.

Head Teachers are invited to nominate candidates for an Award of £1,500 per annum each, to a student in Year 13 going up to University.  Candidates with deferred places are not normally eligible but should apply in the year of entry to University.  The Award will begin upon the student taking up his or her place, and may continue for three years.

Head Teachers in both Independent and Maintained schools are asked to nominate only those students whose families are likely to incur serious financial strain in supporting their children through the years in Higher Education.  The continuation of the Award each year is dependent upon satisfactory reports from the University.

Students are required to complete the form and submit a general letter of application, setting out their principal interests, their achievements to date in school, Jewish and local communities, and their aspirations for the future (maximum 750 words).
