The Quintin Hogg Trust’s sole purpose is to support the advancement of education of students at the University of Westminster – in keeping with our founder’s lifelong work. The Trust derives its income from a portfolio of Central London property and investments, and aims to allocate all income to projects that fit our purpose.
The Quintin Hogg Memorial Fund supports the education of students of the University through the provision of facilities for their recreation, and is permitted to use those facilities to support other young persons.
As charities, the Trust and Memorial Fund are managed by a Board of Trustees who oversee its finances and decide which activities it will fund.

Our values
Independent and objective
We are not part of the University of Westminster and make our decisions on funding purely on the basis of our objects – the advancement of education of the students of the University of Westminster.
Energetic and challenging
We actively seek out projects that meet this objective. For example, we have introduced a protocol that at least one application each year should come from the Students’ Union.
Thoughtful and open
We are keen to examine wholly new ideas that meet our purpose and can offer seed funding for new initiatives or to support cutting-edge research. We are also open to applications for funding to support international students at the University of Westminster.
Celebrating our past to drive our future
We believe that Quintin Hogg’s aspirations and values should continue to underpin education today and tomorrow.
Apply for funding
The Quintin Hogg Trust only accepts applications from the University of Westminster, approved by the University’s’ Executive Board.
Application forms can only be downloaded via the University’s intranet site.
You’ll need to state what the purpose of the grant is and how it will meet our aim of advancing the education of University of Westminster students. You’ll also need to state how much money you require. Grants can be spread over one, two or three years.
All applications should first be submitted to the Head of your Department or Faculty, for their approval. Once that is obtained, they are then considered by University Executive Board before being submitted to the Board of Trustees.
There are no set rules on how much funding Board of Trustees can allocate to individual projects. However, from 2018/19, we will only consider a maximum of 30 applications each year and reserve the right to attach conditions to any grants we give.
Funding is granted in early Spring each year, in line with the University’s financial cycle. All projects funded must submit a report to the Board of Trustees the following year detailing the usage of the money and demonstrating what it has enabled.
