Currently, each participating community organisation decides how the Millennium Partnership Fund will be operated at local level, within the overall guidelines set by the Department of Education and Science.
All participating community organisations have an application form which must be completed by students wishing to apply to the Fund.
Applicants may be required to attend a meeting with the Education Coordinator or another staff member to discuss the application. Applicants may also be required to provide documentation to verify details of the income and outgoings provided in the application.
In general, due to demand for the Millennium Partnership Fund, participating community organisations are not able to approve all applications they receive. Likewise, they may not be able to award all the funding being sought by successful applicants. The Department of Education and Science requires participating community organisations to target the Millennium Partnership Fund at those students most in need of financial support.
