EWS Educational Trust

The EWS Educational Trust is a registered charity established in 2009 with funds from the sale of English Welsh & Scottish Railway Holdings Limited. These funds were gifted in trust by the former framework shareholders as a permanent legacy in recognition of the contributions of the people who made the business the success it became.

The purpose of the Trust is to award grants on a discretionary basis to enable candidates who have close family links to the UK rail freight industry to pursue academic excellence, sporting or artistic development at a high level, and to support those individuals facing exceptional challenges.
