Do you pay just the scholarship (education) fees or living expenses as well?

In general, the Trust pays tuition fees and necessary educational expenses such as compulsory medical insurance. For students at VECT we also pay for board and lodging.

How many students does the Trust currently assist and what is the gender ratio of the students?

We are currently supporting 262 students. Approximately half our students are male and half female. In recent years the Trust’s focus has been on enabling young women to have access to a tertiary education in areas where education has traditionally been male-dominated.

Am I eligible to apply for help from the LBW Trust?

Currently, the LBW Trust supports students in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, India, Pakistan and Nepal. We are funding the construction of a new tertiary education wing at a successful school in Nepal. Prospective students in these countries should apply through our local NGO partners; Prerana Nurture Merit and the Vikash Educational and Charitable Trust in India; The Centre for Learning and Children’s Rights (CLCR) in Nepal; Namal College in Pakistan; One Village in Uganda and Sports Skills for Life Skills in South Africa.
