Any queries that are not addressed by the Guidance may be emailed [to SWSQF@citysolicitors.org.uk](to SWSQF@citysolicitors.org.uk).  \n2 Application Eligibility Criteria  \nAn applicant must fulfil the criteria set out in The Social Welfare Solicitors Qualification Fund (SWSQF) Eligibility Criteria 2025 document to be eligible to be considered for the SWSQF. The applicant will be asked to provide written confirmation of the statements in the Eligibility Criteria 2025 document in the Application Form during the application process.  \n3 Scope of the Scheme  \n3.1 The SWSQF 2025 is only open to applicants seeking to start the SQE preparation course in April 2025 and sit the SQE part 1 in January 2026; and seeking to start the SQE part 2 preparation course (likely in May 2026) and sit the SQE part 2 before the end of October  \n2026. We anticipate, and are working on the assumption, that applicants complete both SQE1 and 2 within a two-year period.  \n3.2 Funding provided through the SWSQF is exclusively for the SQE Parts 1 and 2 preparation course and attendant SQE assessments and will be paid directly to (1) BARBRI with whom the applicant will sit the SQE preparation course and (2) Kaplan, who are the assessment provider. You may specify the amount that you wish to apply for up to the full cost of the SQE assessments/SQE preparation course fees. Funds will be allocated on the assumption that you will pass the SQE assessments at the first attempt. See section 5 of the SWSQF Eligibility Criteria for details of how the funds for each stage of the preparation course and exams will be released and the confirmations required from BARBRI to release funding for the next stage.  \n3.3 No additional funding is available to assist with any living expenses such as accommodation, childcare, transport; nor for any other costs which may be incurred in undertaking the SQE assessments/SQE preparation course.  \n3.4 While it is not necessary to have a confirmed place on the SQE Part 1 preparation course before submitting a SWSQF application, all awards will be subject to acceptance onto a BARBRI SQE preparation course and a place on an SQE assessment with Kaplan, both parts anticipated to be passed by the end of October 2026.  \n4 Financial eligibility  \n4.1 Awards made under the SWSQF represent an investment in successful applicants by the City of London Law Society (CLLS) and the SWSQF’s city law firm sponsors. As the scheme only provides financial assistance towards SQE preparation course fees and assessments, you must be able to support yourself and your dependants.  \n4.2 If shortlisted, you will be required to provide evidence of your financial position, as detailed in your application at the interview including:  \n4.2.1 Three months of bank statements (covering all relevant accounts to establish that you meet the financial eligibility criteria, including but not limited to your current  \n3203978719/3/08 Oct 2024  \n2  \naccount, any savings account, ISA or other way of evidencing that you do not have more than £19,500 in savings) .  \n4.2.2 Loan rejection or acceptances, as appropriate.  \n4.3 If shortlisted, you will be required to provide evidence you meet the following:  \n4.3.1 Either;  \nI cur","cbCaipGF45JDZ5XI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipGF45JDZ5XI","pdf",590579,"English","# About the Social Welfare Solicitors Qualification Fund (SWSQF)\n## Application Eligibility Criteria\n# Scope of the Scheme\n## Financial eligibility\n# Process","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to apply for the SWSQF in 2025?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must meet the criteria in the SWSQF Eligibility Criteria 2025 document.
