10 Fully Funded English Learning Grants Now Available at Notting Hill College through Think English

Notting Hill College is proud to announce that, through its specialist Language Department Think English, we are offering 10 fully funded Language Access Fund grants to support learners across the UK who need access to high-quality English language education. These grants will provide access to a range of programmes, including one-to-one private English lessons, ensuring personalised support for learners at different levels.

 

These grants are designed to help individuals who face financial barriers, including refugees, asylum seekers, newly arrived residents in the UK, and learners preparing for Trinity College London English exams. This initiative strengthens our mission to widen access to English courses in the UK, providing essential language support for those integrating into UK communities, entering the workforce, or working toward recognised qualifications.

As the language training arm of Notting Hill College, Think English delivers inclusive, flexible, and learner-centred English programmes tailored to real-world needs. The grant enables us to expand these opportunities and ensure that vulnerable or newly arrived learners can access the support they need at no cost.
