About Us
The Foundation of Joanna Scott and Others is a Norwich based registered charity that was set up under the will of Joanna Scott dated 1709, and now it operates under schemes laid down by The Board of Education and by The Charity Commission.
What we do
The Foundation of Joanna Scott provides means-tested educational grants to support young people in Norwich who would otherwise struggle to meet the costs of learning opportunities.
We help individuals aged under 25 who live or attend school within 5 miles of Norwich City Hall, and whose parents or guardians are unable to afford the expenses involved.
Our grants cover a wide range of educational needs, including:
- School uniform support – helping families manage essential clothing costs.
- School residential trips and activities – ensuring young people don’t miss out on valuable experiences.
- Music, dance and gym tuition – enabling access to creative and physical development.
- University and further education expenses – easing the financial pressure of higher study.
All applications are means tested, and supporting financial information will be required.
Funds are limited, so grants are awarded at the discretion of the Trustees and based on individual need.
