Affiliate to EGAS
 
The Educational Grants Advisory Service (EGAS) is a charitable organisation that relies on affiliations from educational institutions to be able to offer a service that is free to students. EGAS provides a service to educational institutions through the provision of expert guidance and advice on a wide range of funding sources available for post-16 education.
 
Affiliation runs from 1st September to 31st August each year at a cost of £325.
