Ready for the Future grants are intended to support existing highways or transport professionals to acquire skills that will be necessary for highways in the future.
Support is available to around five highways or transport professionals each year, with grants to grow or acquire skills currently in short supply or under-developed in the sector. The grants are aimed at excellent candidates who would not normally be able to afford to study or have study funded by their employer.
Applicants can apply for a grant to cover the cost of course fees, up to the value of £10,000. There is no “prescribed” list of courses that could be funded, instead the Trustees are interested in applicants explaining why their proposed course of study will have future impact and benefit for the highways and transport sector.
