Upton-upon-Severn Education Foundation

The Education Foundation was set up by three Upton citizens in the early Seventeen Hundreds to encourage the education of GIRLS in the Upton-upon-Severn Parish.

Today, despite 'equal opportunities', the Trust is still required to use its income to encourage girls' education either by grants to individual students or by providing 'extras' for the schools local girls attend. Females under the age of 25 years who are in Higher Education and live, or whose parents are resident in the Parish of Upton-upon-Severn, are eligible to apply for a grant.
The Trustees will meet in October and March, when all applications will be considered. So, if you think you are eligible, please apply in writing, giving details of College, University course etc. to:

Mrs J C White,
Chairman to the Trustees,
Upton-upon-Severn Education Foundation,
3 School Lane,
Upton-upon-Severn,
