School Fellows

The Rank Foundation offers financial support to a small number of boys and girls in the Sixth Forms of selected Independent Schools who are thought to have outstanding leadership potential and where there is a financial need which, but for the help of The Foundation, would result in a change of school at a critical time. Candidates for these School Leadership Awards are put forward to the Foundation by the Heads of a few chosen Schools; the Foundation makes the Awards on the evidence of this exceptional leadership.

It is a requirement of those holding an Award to spend two weeks working for a not-for-profit organisation, typically a Youth and Community group where the Rank Foundation has very strong links. This concept of 'paying something back to Society' is an increasingly important concept within the Rank Fellowship.
