    MANSION HOUSE SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME

    Awards study scholarships to students and young business executives from selected overseas countries to study or attend training attachments and courses in the United Kingdom
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
