The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund



​​​​​The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund

The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund (TSCSF) was established as a registered charity in 1997.

Under various Masters programmes, TSCSF offers Post Graduate students from developing countries the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and gain skills that will make a long-term contribution to the further development of their countries.

Each year nearly 90 students will be given major scholarships
(for one year in the UK, and for two years in Netherlands).

Partners in the scheme are the
University of Cambridge,
Durham University,
The University of Edinburgh,
Imperial College London,
University of Leeds,
The University of Oxford and University College London in the UK,
and with Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Twente in the Netherlands.

These universities also contribute to the funding of scholarships.

The scholarships are known as Shell Centenary Scholarships (in the UK), Royal Dutch Shell Centenary Scholarships (in the NL).

A number of scholarships are also jointly funded with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and are known as Shell Centenary Chevening Scholarships.
