In October 1997 The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company plc celebrated its centenary. In order to mark this in a lasting and meaningful way the Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies established The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund (TSCSF). This, through its contributions towards the cost of scholarships, supports educational advancement and co-operation worldwide by providing opportunities for graduate students from overseas to study in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.
In TSCSF’s scholarship programme, applicants compete for scholarships offered at selected universities. The total number of scholarships supported has increased over the years as additional universities have been brought into the programme. At University College London four scholarships are now jointly funded by TSCSF, University College and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and four scholarships are funded by TSCSF and University College. Across the programme it is the intention that the scholarships be widely geographically distributed. In each year a large number of countries will be represented.
Scholarships will be awarded to those academically qualified applicants thought best able to contribute to the sustainable development of their home country by
becoming leaders, decision makers or opinion-formers. Preference will be given to those who have not yet had the opportunity to study outside of their home country and to those who have had some relevant and significant postgraduate work experience.
