About

The four UK-registered Charles Wallace Trusts were established in 1981 with funds bequeathed by Charles Wallace, a British businessman and entrepreneur who flourished in India in the late 19th century. The Trusts operate for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma/Myanmar, with the central purpose of assisting the nationals of those countries to obtain education and professional development in the United Kingdom. Charles Wallace directed in his Will that all possessions should return to the people, and the Trusts continue this mission today with support from the British Council.

Funding Opportunities

Charles Wallace Burma Trust Academic Grants

The Charles Wallace Burma Trust, established in 1981, offers modest academic grants to support postgraduate students from Burma/Myanmar who are in the midst of their studies in the United Kingdom. These grants provide financial assistance of £1,000 or less to help students continue their postgraduate education. The awards are made based on a combination of academic excellence and demonstrated financial need. Applications cannot be submitted in advance of studies commencing in the UK; students must already be enrolled and studying at a British university. The Trust is a registered UK charity that operates independently while receiving support from the British Council in both the United Kingdom and Burma/Myanmar.
