Chris (snowy_again) posted links to these grants.
Are there any polo players under the age of 25 that would like to apply for one of these grants. I'm sure the polo community could help out with advice and filling in application forms. Polo school, with new bikes? Youth tournament? Polo sessions in Trafalgar square?
It requires a bit (a lot) of time and effort, but then they give you money. Just give it to you!
