London/French Exchange

[John Simkin]

The Lefèvre Trust offers exchange visit bursaries for young people aged 13-18 wishing to undertake an exchange with a French partner. The Trust was established by the will of Madame Nina Lefèvre, a British citizen domiciled in France, who died in 1975. The Lefèvre Trust welcome applications from groups; e.g. youth groups, sports clubs, artistic/cultural organisations as well as school groups, as well as from individuals. Please note however, that the rules of the Trust insist all potential participants must attend state secondary schools and colleges in London. The fund is intended to support school-age children from the two countries equally in exchange visits; grants of up to £8000 can be awarded, to be split equally between the London and French partner.
