Terms
Last updated 19 October 2026
These terms cover this website. They are short because the site is a single page that tells you about the fund and asks nothing of you.
What this site is
It is a description of The Sylvia Bacon Scholarship Fund and the work it supports. We try to keep it accurate and current, but it is written in plain language rather than as a legal document, and it may be out of date between updates.
What this site is not
Nothing on this site is an offer or a promise of money.Reading this page, or writing to us about someone, does not create any entitlement to an award. The fund decides who it supports and when, and it is not obliged to explain a decision or to make an award at all.
Nothing here is legal, financial, or educational advice.
Recommending someone
If you write to us about a young woman, please make sure you have good reason to think she would want to be put forward. Do not send us anyone else's private information without their knowledge.
The words and the photographs
The writing, the design, and the photographs on this site belong to the fund and to the people who made them. The photographs of Sylvia Bacon in particular are family photographs and are not available for reuse.
You are welcome to link to this site, to quote it when writing about the fund, and to print it. You may not present the fund's words or images as your own, or use them to suggest that the fund supports something it does not.
The site itself
We provide this site as it is. We cannot guarantee it will always be available or free of errors, and we are not responsible for loss arising from using it or from being unable to reach it.
Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, the date at the top of this page changes.
