THREE schools and a sixth-form college have been awarded grants worth nearly £2,500 by a charity.
Darlington Educational Charities is funded with bequests from town residents with the aim of helping students at secondary schools and colleges.
The grants, for students aged 25 and under, are used to pay for books, equipment and educational trips.
At this month's meeting, the trustees awarded £1,365 to Branksome School, £500 to Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, £400 to Longfield School, and £48.75 to Hummersknott School and Language College.
Application forms for grants are available from schools and colleges, or from Elaine Sayers, the clerk to the trustees, at Darlington Town Hall.
