Charles Wallace Bangladesh Trust

The Trust helps Bangladeshi nationals to pursue postgraduate study and professional development in the UK.
Modest grants of £1,000 or lower are offered to final-year doctoral students reaching the end of their studies in the UK.  The criteria for awarding these grants are a combination of academic excellence and financial need. 

They can be applied for once a year in advance of a deadline of 10 November, eg shortly before a meeting of our trustees in late November.  Applicants must complete an application form on-line and submit it to the Trust’s Secretary (timbutchard@wallace-trusts.org.uk), together with a supporting letter, also on-line and on headed paper, from their supervisors. 

The supervisor’s letter should comment briefly on three aspects of the candidate’s application: academic progress and commitment; personality (why the candidate is worth supporting); and financial circumstances (why the candidate needs supporting). Other supporting documentation must be kept to a minimum and CVs should not exceed two pages.  Technical information should be presented in language which is intelligible to non-specialists.
