Christians in Overseas Service Trust

Christians in Overseas Service Trust (COST) was established in 1972 to assist short term volunteers to obtain initial funding, which enables and facilitates them through the provision of monetary grants. COST is open to applications only from Christians who are British nationals.

The Trust was founded by the Bible and Medical Missionary Fellowship (now INTERSERVE) but works with all mission agencies.

In the last 20 years, the Trust has assisted almost two thousand students and other young people. The policy is to provide a grant that is modest but significant. The emphasis has been on assisting gap year students, medical electives and bible college students. This emphasis remains but is not exclusive.

The intention is to kick-start the process of fund raising to help them secure additional funds from other sources.

PLEASE NOTE: NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM
