Persons responsible for preparing and submitting bids should be aware that the Foundation only meets every 8-10 weeks (but see the note* below). Using the list below, note should be taken of the date of the next meeting to avoid delays that may cause problems for your organisation. Ideally, applicants should aim to submit their form(s) so that they reach the Clerk at least 10 days before the meeting.

*In between meetings, the Chairman of the Foundation may agree to approve applications valued at £1,000 or less. Where this happens, the time-scales mentioned above do not apply.

Foundation’s Meetings Dates

The dates on this page do not generally apply to individual students’ applications for Somerset Awards and Somerset Undergraduate Awards. Different arrangements operate for these.
