ICS Educational Fund
The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers Educational Fund is a
registered charity with the Charity Commission for England and
Wales and is a seperate legal entity from the Institute.
The principal objectives as contained in the Declaration
of Trust are:
The Educational Fund has supported causes including: the funding
and setting up of a number of Branch libraries worldwide; financial
support for less privileged students in SE Asia; the President's
annual prize for the most outstanding student of the year; and the
Gordon Baldwin dissertation award.
In recognition of the Institute's Centenary in 2011, it was
agreed that the Educational Fund should adopt a more proactive
position. It set some ambitious objectives for the short and medium
term which will require large fundraising projects.
Success in raising sufficient funds will allow the Educational
Fund to fund these projects:
- Centenary award of ICS Educational Fund Scholarship(s)
- Support for two places each year at the PREP held at Warwick
University
- Creation of a Learning Resource Centre for the Shipping
community (in collaboration with other organisations)
- Expansion of the "Friends of the ICS" initiative
Meeting these ambitious plans will need strong financial support
from the shipping industry as well as fundraising support at Branch
level.
The success of these projects will help to raise the profile of
the Institute significantly and your support will be greatly
appreciated. Learn more about how you can help.
