Awards Scheme

Awards Scheme

Working With Colleges and Universities

The Gane Trust Award Scheme was set up to encourage students by rewarding them for achievement and giving them the opportunity to broaden their horizons. We work with the following organisations:

University of the West of England - Nursing and Midwifery
University of the West of England - Art and Design
Bristol School of Art - Fine Art and Fashion
Bath Spa University - Art and Design
City of Bath College - Fashion and Textile Design
Society of Designer Craftsmen - Arts and Crafts

Achievement and Travel Awards

We give Gane Achievement Awards and Travel Awards of between £500 - £1,000 to a student selected by staff tutors.

Students receiving Travel Awards get £800 towards travel, then £200 when they return and make their presentation to fellow students, staff and trustees. The effect can be life-changing: the experience can redirect what they do in their third year, or even change their plans for a future career completely.

Students receiving Achievement Awards receive a single payment in their final year.

City Of Bath College Awards

Our two Gane Annual Awards of £500 recognise excellence in Technical Skills and in Creative Design for students on the National Diploma Fashion Clothing Course.
