[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 115150, member: 2672"] Maintenance grants are typically a set amount. Firms are unlikely to give individual increases as a matter of fairness to all trainees. However, they might be able to support in other ways. This could be: [LIST] [*]Salary advances [*]Prizes or bursaries for other achievements/activities [*]Documentation to help you apply for a commercial loan (e.g. proof of future income) [*]Help with paid work during holidays [*]Connecting you with recruitment agencies to help you with work outside of the firm during the holidays [/LIST] There have been a number of posts recently in the forum about this broader topic though. It seems some future trainees might be planning to approach their firm as a cohort to ask for an increase that everyone receives. Here is one such thread: [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/lpc-grants.5532/'](1) LPC grants | The Corporate Law Academy Forum[/URL] [/QUOTE]
